Street Scenes 1970

Synopsis

In May 1970, two significant protest rallies against the Vietnam War highlighted the growing tensions in the United States. The Hard Hat Riot on Wall Street in New York City saw construction workers clashing with anti-war demonstrators, reflecting a divide in public opinion. Concurrently, the Kent State/Cambodia Incursion Protest in Washington, D.C. mobilized thousands in response to the U.S. invasion of Cambodia and the tragic shooting of four students at Kent State University. These events marked a pivotal moment in the anti-war movement.
