"The Negro View: A Special Anguish", Newsweek, July 10, 1967
The article describes how many Black Americans in the 1960s felt torn about the Vietnam War, since they were drafted in large numbers to fight in Vietnam while still facing racism and poverty at home. Some supported the war to show loyalty, but many others questioned why the U.S. fought for freedom in Southeast Asia.
