StorylineOpposing the Vietnam War in Chapel Hill, 1965–19731965–1973 · 81 events · From 1965 to 1969 opposition to the Vietnam War in Chapel Hill grew from a silent walk of about 30 Student Peace Union marchers to a Moratorium day in which thousands took part. Students held fasts, sing-outs and pickets, a silent vigil stood at the post office every Wednesday from January 1967, and Vice President Humphrey, Senators Morse, Mansfield and Kennedy and others spoke on the war. Draft counseling began in 1967, faculty members signed statements backing draft refusers, and in March 1968 fifteen people were arrested at a sit-in against a Dow Chemical recruiter. On October 15, 1969 some 3,500 to 5,000 marchers walked through downtown to a convocation where Mayor Howard Lee spoke. From 1970 a Curriculum in Peace, War and Defense tied ROTC to new courses, students and faculty lobbied Congress, and in April 1972 more than 2,000 students marched against the renewed bombing. The Franklin Street peace vigil went on into 1973, when local peace groups formed the Chapel Hill Peace Center.
