vietnam war

I never learned much about the Vietnam war or its protests before this video. I thought the video was interesting and it taught me a lot of things. I knew that, like everything else, race played a role in it but I wasn’t sure how. I did not know that black people had a higher chance of being killed during the war compared to white people. I also completely understood their reasoning for not wanting to be drafted. Why would you fight for a country that sees you as inferior to others? It made me think of Muhammed Ali who openly spoke against the draft as well. the draft is unfair and appeals to the rich so I understand why people protested. I wish I would’ve learned more about it in school and I wonder why I didn’t.
