The FSM emerged before most Americans were aware of the extent of U.S. involvement in the war in Vietnam, before Lyndon Johnson sharply increased U.S. troop levels and approved sustained bombing of cities and trails in North Vietnam, and before the first major confrontations between U.S. and North Vietnamese forces. Johnson ran for office in November 1964 as the peace candidate. In 1965, however, increasing numbers of American young men were drafted and mass marches against the war began. State troopers attacked Martin Luther King’s march from Selma to Montgomery, Alabama, and bigoted whites bombed the homes of African American families who had moved into their neighborhoods in Chicago. In 1966 the Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee and the Congress of Racial Equality adopted the cry of “Black Power” and expelled white members. Jobless and underemployed young African Americans men confronted police and attacked white-owned stores in many U.S. cities in the mid-1960s, including Harlem and Philadelphia in 1964, Watts in Los Angeles in 1965, Detroit and Newark in 1967, and more than one hundred cities large and small after the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King in April 1968.
