An Examination of the Vietnam Antiwar Movement at Wisconsin State University-La Crosse, 1965-1973 Author: Weihrauch, Benjamin Date published: 2002 |
Abstract | The goal of this project was to analyze the antiwar protest movement against the Vietnam Conflict, 1961-1975 at Wisconsin State University-La Crosse. I used primary, secondary, and oral sources to identify the power and participation of WSU-L antiwar activities, how the movement organized to promote their cause, and the challenges and opposition it faced from the conservative and/or apathetic student body, administration, and pro-war proponents. My analysis also related the WSU-L antiwar movement to trends and movements that occurred on a national scale. Analysis indicated that the consistently small but dedicated group of WSU-L antiwar protestors was nonviolent, and though students did initiate some of their own antiwar activities, most of their prominent marches, rallies, and lobbying movements ran in conjunction with national events and trends. |
