The photograph captures a high-angle view of a protest march in a Parisian street. The black-and-white image features a dense crowd of demonstrators dressed in 1960s attire, including suits and dresses. Central to the composition are large, hand-held banners displaying texts such as "PAIX au VIETNAM," "Halte à l’agression U.S.," and other messages advocating for peace. The street is flanked by trees on either side and shop fronts visible in the background, creating a sense of location and atmosphere. The overall tone is serious and resolute, embodying the spirit of activism against war.

2024 feels like dejavu to many folks who remember the 60s/70s #AntiWar #protests in USA that was a part of the international citizens' #GlobalResistance movements.

Opposition to the #VietnamWar was not limited to the United States. Throughout the world, people demonstrated their #resistance to the war, and in some cases offered their #solidarity with the #Vietnamese.
