L-S alum writes book about state s largest mass arrest amid Vietnam War turmoil
MetroWest Daily News
SUDBURY It s almost been 50 years since a band of about 200 young, fatigue-clad veterans began a three-day trek from Concord to Boston that resulted in the largest mass arrest in state history.
Calling for an end to the Vietnam War, the New England chapter of Vietnam Veterans Against the War marched in reverse Paul Revere s famed Midnight Ride on April 19, 1775, when he called on American colonists to rise up against their British oppressors. The path saw them beginning at the Old North Bridge in Concord, passing through the Lexington Battle Green, and through Bunker Hill, concluding with an anti-war rally at Boston Common.

Wicked Local
While spring has technically already begun, for many in Lexington the season doesn t truly start until April 19. Patriots Day 2021, which marks the 246th year since the first conflicts in the American Revolution, is fast approaching. While most celebrations will be held remotely due to the pandemic, there s a bevy of fun and educational happenings around town this holiday weekend.
Before the holiday weekend
Lexington s Town Celebrations Committee is sponsoring That Patriots Point Walk, an opportunity to get out of the house and take a tour around the town s various historic locations. The Committee will supply participants with a map of monuments and memorials associated with Patriots Day upon registration. The goal is to walk to as many as possible, tracking miles on smartphone, and taking photos at the destinations. Prizes will be awarded for those that have gone the most miles or have had the most creatively designed routes. ....

The largest arrest in state history was in Lexington

Wicked Local
On a sunny day, May 30, 1971, the Lexington Battle Green was once again full of soldiers. They did not wear red coats, nor did they fire muskets. Instead, these soldiers donned dark green fatigues and camouflage. They threw peace signs up into the air, and held signs calling for an end to violence overseas in Vietnam.
Less than 24 hours later, hundreds of them were rounded and arrested up by police. It was, and still is, the largest mass arrest in Massachusetts history.
Elise Lemire, a professor at Purchase College in New York and a Lincoln native, has spent the past decade researching the event and the factors that led to it for her new book, “Battle Green Vietnam.” It will be released later this spring.   ....

Travel is not always about beast beaches, wild adventures, and sunset cocktails. It can also be a journey of learning and diving deep into culture and history.
One great way to do that – especially if you are traveling with kids – is to create a road trip theme around historical events. (This is also perfect for homeschooling families.)

One that our family has enjoyed, especially as Australians learning about what makes up the spirit of Americans, is to visit the places and experiences that tell the story of the Revolutionary War. ....
