Moratorium to End the War in Vietnam The <a href="http://mallhistory.org/items/show/235">Moratorium to End the War in Vietnam</a> began as nationwide anti-war protests which took place during October 1969. A month later, on November 15, roughly half a million people gathered in Washington for anti-war activities. Protesters spoke out in all parts of the city, including on the National Mall. Folk singer and activist Pete Seeger led a large group in singing protest songs near the <a href="http://mallhistory.org/items/show/36">Washington Monument</a>. The March Against Death took protesters past the <a href="http://mallhistory.org/items/show/66">White House</a>, where they spoke aloud the names of American soldiers who had been killed in Vietnam, often naming a relative.
