Note: The May 1970 Washington peace rally refers to a series of significant anti-war demonstrations held in Washington, D.C., during that month, with the most prominent event occurring on May 9, 1970. These rallies were primarily in response to the ongoing Vietnam War, the U.S. invasion of Cambodia announced by President Richard Nixon on April 30, 1970, and the tragic Kent State shootings on May 4, 1970, where four students were killed by the Ohio National Guard during a protest. The May 9 rally stands out as one of the largest anti-war demonstrations in U.S. history up to that point, reflecting widespread public outrage and galvanizing the anti-war movement.
