Anti-War Demonstrations and Protests – “Come Together” by the Beatles

When I look at this picture, I am reminded of the song “Come Together” by the Beatles. During the Vietnam War, thousands of people joined forces as a means of protesting and displaying their anti-war beliefs. As is described in the song, many people with many backgrounds “came together” during this time in order to fight a common cause. The Beatles also described the belief that “you got to be free”, which was a reoccurring theme at anti-Vietnam War protests.
