1967 Century City demonstration information


The 1967 Century City demonstrations, also known as the 1967 Century City police riots,[1][2] was an anti-Vietnam War protest which took place on June 23, 1967, in the Century City neighborhood of Los Angeles. Beginning with a demonstration against the war by an estimated 10,000 protestors, the march was soon stopped and LAPD officers began attacking, later claiming they believed that a mob was forming. In the end, 51 arrests were made and an unknown number of protesters were left injured.
