Description	In 1970, in response to President Nixon’s widening of the Vietnam War into Cambodia, students throughout the nation protested with anti-war demonstrations. Nixon ordered U. S. troops into Cambodia on April 30th, 1970, and protests against the war mounted. On May 4, 1970, about 500 Vanderbilt faculty and students joined a community march from the campus to the Federal Building downtown. That same day the National Guard shot more than a dozen student protesters, killing four, at Kent State University in Ohio. A few days later, hundreds of Vanderbilt students and faculty voted at a meeting to walk out of their classes to protest events in Southeast Asia and Ohio. In these photographs, the anti-war protestors are pictured in downtown along Broadway, marching towards the Federal Office Building. Forms part of Record Group 3, Metro Davidson County Photographer.
