4© In 1961 President Kennedy promised the South Vietnamese help against communist aggression. Two years later he repeated his assurances and predicted that the war might end in 1965, and a hopeful nation believed him. Then somehow it became Johnson ' s war, and more men were drafted and peace talks were demanded, and now it is Nixon ' s war. This war, like any war, is not a pleasant thing. Some people believe it is a useless murdering of our American Gl ' s and others believe we should be there preserving Democracy and deterring the spread of communism. Throughout the years, our great nation has been engaged in battles fighting for what we believe m as Americans. We have tried to instill in other nations a desire for peace and tranquility. Although some of our citizens have shown an unfavorable attitude towards this war, others have banded together to support our President whom we have elected to lead our nation. Ban the bomb, and Bring our boys home from Viet Nam are sounding chants from the war protesters and Win in Viet Nam is shouted from the supporters of the war. As we enter into a new decade people hope for an end to the war, whether it be a peaceful settle- ment or a military victory. This war, which has claimed over 40,000 lives, must end some- how, some day.

y ' -% This has been the period of the birth of a new pride for Blacks. Determined Afro-Americans are slowly winning the battle of overcoming the in- justices of 350 years. I have a dream and Black is beautiful characterize the non-violent movement for Black equality. But there is another side to this struggle. In both the North and South nonviolence was answered with violence and outraged Blacks marched. Many Blacks threatened to use violent forms of expression. Such was the case of many occupie d administration buildings on college campuses throughout the nation. Others resorted to rioting which racked practically ail major cities. Burn, baby, burn, was a often heard cry in ramsacked cities. Their was progress and there continues to be a vast gap between equal- ity. Maybe in this decade we can live in brotherhood.
