Material Related to Moratoriums, 1969 Fall

Contains material on Oberlin’s participation in the October and November 1969 moratoriums. The “practice nonviolence” tag and black armband were worn on the silent vigil announced in the Oberlin News Tribune advertisement. So many people stood at that vigil that Tappan Square was completely ringed with people. The orange “Ohio Marshall” badge armband was worn by certain people in Washington during the November demonstration to keep order within the ranks of Ohioan protestors. It was at this point that the Oberlin Resistance turned into the Oberlin College Moratorium Committee and unofficially dissolved after the moratorium was over.
