On November 15, 1969, the Vietnam Moratorium Committee brought together over 500,000 activists who marched in Washington, D.C. to protest the Vietnam War. Similar demonstrations were carried out across the country. This event followed the March Against Death demonstration the previous day, where protesters marched in D.C. with signs that listed the names of deceased U.S. soldiers and Vietnamese towns that had destroyed in the war. The march on November 15th, known as Moratorium Day, featured speeches from politicians and performances from popular musicians. It was reported as a non-violent, quiet, and somber protest.
