In the largest protest march in the history of the U.S., more than 65,000, paraded the 5 1/2-mile route along Market Street in San Francisco, California. It was a strange sort of parade, curiously dignified, joyous and peaceful. Most of the marchers carried flowers. They were predominantly young, but there was an impressive number of the elderly-white-haired grandmothers, oldsters pushed in wheel chairs and many children and stolid, straight, middle-class matrons. All had a common cause, to protest against the Vietnam war. There was no burning of draft cards, as there had been in New York, and there were few violent speeches.
