Description

Local historians weekly "Back Issues" article in the Manawatū Standard. Early 1970s nationwide protest against New Zealand's participation in the Vietnam War; Palmerston North played its part. The reported silent majority who demonstrated and protested were described as students, trade unionists, church groups, individuals and families, and members of the Mongrel Mob. The protest groups that marched down Broadway Avenue and gathered in Te Marae o Hine/The Square were the largest that had been seen in Palmerston North.
