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.

Editor s note: In the final part of our series, we take a closer look at what the local police response to mental health issues has been like during the pandemic.
The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic have impacted all facets of life including mental health. Like local emergency room departments and private clinicians, local police departments have also seen a significant increase in mental health calls since March 2020.
Local police
Boxborough Police Chief Warren Ryder estimates a 30-40% increase in mental health-related calls during the pandemic compared with the previous year.
Maynard Police Chief Michael Noble said it is difficult to tally the exact number of mental health calls as they are called in and identified as several different incidents, perhaps as a disturbance, domestic dispute, or medical issue. The department s mental health referrals, however, are up 105% from the quarter before COVID.
