55 years ago, May 16 1969, about 500 Stanford students, organized by the Students for a Democratic Society-led April 3rd movement, set up burning blockades and smashed windows at the Stanford Research Institute (SRI) Annex, which conducted military research for use in Vietnam
The demonstrators were eventually routed by police. 15 students were arrested and bailed out with Stanford student government funds. That same day, hundreds rioted outside a UC Regents meeting in LA to protest the previous day’s violence in Berkeley https://t.co/FBlBJq3aDW
