Re: Anti-War Protests?

Hi Ron!

I am also interested in the topic!

My understanding is that there were some
anti-war protests in the US during the Korean War, but they were
much weaker than during the Vietnam War.

This was probably due to two factors:
1) Americans were not well informed of the
origins of the Korean War. The only thing they
probably heard at the time was the UN resolution
branding N.Korea as the aggressor; and
2) The intense anti-communist hysteria &
witch-hunting during that time.

I heard there was a big anti-war rally in the Madison Square 
Garden in NYC. The best sources for such info would be
in the leftist newspapers or magazines of the time.
Check on the "Daily Worker." Also check a book called
"Anthology of the Korean War Literature"(something like that)!

Good luck!

John
