Throwback Thursday: “No business as usual,” May 5, 1971

May 5, 1971 was dubbed the “No Business as Usual” moratorium by a coalition of peace and anti-war groups, and there were demonstrations in cities across the country, from Washington, D.C. to Hawaii.

Here in Honolulu, a group of about 150 people marched from the University of Hawaii Manoa campus to the Honolulu Federal Building.

After a rally at the federal building, the crowd splintered. One group staged at sit-in at the federal building’s main entrance, while others proceeded to other sites, including the draft board office, the Catholic Bishop’s office, and an Army recruiting office.

This is a “quick and dirty” set of photos from my personal archive. I still have to go back and identify people whose names I can remember.

Feel free to leave comments identifying people you recognize.

    Great photos. Something is weird about #19, though. Maybe it was a bad scan. There are some strange cuts and unnatural blurs.

    If one of your pictures is a young woman with long ponytails who got arrested outside draft board in the Hopscotch Incident, that was me.
