Maurice Isserman, William R. Kenan Professor of History, was interviewed about the anti-war protest held in Washington, D.C. According to Voice of America, the estimated crowd of 100,000 is believed to be the largest protest of its kind since the Vietnam War era. Isserman said, "It was a very impressive turnout, especially given that the shooting hasn't started yet. By comparison with the 1960's, it wasn't until the war was going for two or three years before you saw as many as 100,000 people turn out for a single demonstration."
