Saturday's rally at Golden Gate Park climaxed the two-day Moratorium in San Francisco when over 100,000 marched very peacefully through the streets. There were contingents in the march who carried the flag of the National Liberation Front, anti-imperialists who saw other purposes for the march than to convince Nixon to "Give Peace A Chance," but they were far outnumbered by the masses of people trying to sway Nixon from his avowed policy of not letting street demonstrations affect his policy on Vietnam.

Saturday's rally at Golden Gate Park climaxed the two-day Moratorium in San Francisco when over 100,000 marched very peacefully through the streets. There were contingents in the march who carried the flag of the National Liberation Front, anti-imperialists who saw other purposes for the march than to convince Nixon to "Give Peace A Chance," but they were far outnumbered by the masses of people trying to sway Nixon from his avowed policy of not letting street demonstrations affect his policy on Vietnam.
