Here are some more videos from TV news at that time. While mostly pro-war and never objective or presenting an in depth or analytical coverage from the anti-war point of view, watching these videos so many years later, the essence still comes through.

  1. 1967 April 15, Anti-war Demonstration in New York City. CANLF shown gathering at 0:50 and marching later. (This shows our 40' display in Central Park, to gather the Revolutionary Contingent groups that later marched with the flags of all the Liberation Movements to the UN.)
  2. 1967 Anti-War Demonstration at the Pentagon. Video of the Pentagon Demonstration.
  3. Nguyen Van Luy - A leader and patriot of both Vietnam and his adopted country, the USA. He was t he first Vietnamese-American to give a speech at a major anti-war Demonstration at the Lincoln Memorial on October 21, 1967, the Pentagon Demonstration. Biographical materials and photos.
  4. 1969 Film Showing of Vietnamese films in NYC. Walter interviewed. [Better and bigger version on Youtube] Feb. 15 & 16, 1969 at the Alternate U. in NYC. The feature film was "The Rising Storm" about a brother and sister on opposite sides of the liberation struggle. Film disappeared when mailed back with name showing! Other films were taken by RU and supposedly later donated to a University. We are still searching. Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4cBk8KcWh80

Do a Google search. I will add more in the coming days. Also, see Walter's Draft comments on this May Day Demonstrations.
