Promoted peaceful protests against the Vietnam War 

Encouraged the use of flowers and other peaceful items to show authorities they mean no harm

Many college students were a part of the protests because they had some power to change the government]]> 2019-04-17 18:21:14 UTC https://padlet.com/marboj19/oof/wish/352391203 marboj19 https://padlet.com/marboj19/oof/wish/352391433 The March on The Pentagon 

It was a protest against the Vietnam War

Many other protests occurred such as the Anti-Vietnam War demonstrations

One of the demonstrations was when protesters marched from Central Park to The U.N. in NYC]]> 2019-04-17 18:21:56 UTC https://padlet.com/marboj19/oof/wish/352391433 marboj19 https://padlet.com/marboj19/oof/wish/352391756 The outcome of this protest ended up being mostly peaceful

No one was seriously injured but many people were arrested]]> 2019-04-17 18:22:49 UTC https://padlet.com/marboj19/oof/wish/352391756 marboj19 https://padlet.com/marboj19/oof/wish/352392406 This protest was different because in others more violent actions were taken 

In this protest the students were peacefully putting flowers in soldiers’ guns to symbolize peace. ]]> 2019-04-17 18:24:22 UTC https://padlet.com/marboj19/oof/wish/352392406 marboj19 https://padlet.com/marboj19/oof/wish/352392657 This act symbolizes peace

Peace is often associated with flowers and other natural items 

Many times, flowers are given when someone wants to make amends with someone else

This makes sense because the protesters were trying to get the government to listen to them and takes their troops out of Vietnam]]> 2019-04-17 18:25:10 UTC https://padlet.com/marboj19/oof/wish/352392657 marboj19 https://padlet.com/marboj19/oof/wish/352393546 When African-Americans were treated differently than White Americans
