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. Some were in wheelchairs; others had lost limbs.
