The Silent Majority Speaks Up | The Day the '60s Died

Discover how the anger directed at student protestors quickly became a political tool, as Nixon recognized that a cohort of Americans supported his policies and were willing to cross party lines to demonstrate their beliefs. Across the country, pro-Nixon rallies were held in support of the war in Vietnam and the president's patriotic view of America.
