U.S. out of S.E. Asia now! Stop racism! Inauguration Day, Jan. 20, Washington, D.C.
A typed protest flyer calls a national demonstration on Inauguration Day and lists five demands, from ending the Vietnam War to ending the wage freeze. Its text applies the label "genocide" to U.S. bombing in Vietnam and extends it to policies at home, quoting General Curtis LeMay's "Bomb 'em back to the Stone Age" as its lead evidence. A boxed notice announces a local march on January 5.

We call this GENOCIDE! SDS has been organizing this demonstration against genocide for the last few months.This genocide doesn't stop with the war in Vietnam,but it is seen in every aspect of the U.S.government's policies abroad and here.Two weeks ago,over 30 Attica inmates and ex-inmates were charged with dozens of counts of every conceivable charge stemming from the Attica rebellion.Not one cop,official or governor was charged,even though Rockefeller ordered the cops to murder prisoners and hostages. Nixon says the wage freeze will be with us for a long time to come.His rich benefactors are so happy about denying workers their just salary,they've decided to make the freeze permanent. At Southern University,2 black students were murdered for demonstrating against University racism.
