re: Have protests ever changed a mind?

But they were marching about things going on in another country

The difference was it was being done in another country by the United States and a good many of the protestors would be directly impacted had they left or been tossed out of school and lost their deferments. Social change happens when a group is pushed to the point that they have no choice....at the time Vietnam War protestors were at that point. These protestors have no direct skin in the game....they will get bored or accept some minor compromise and act as if they won when what they will have accomplished is having it instilled in them that they won and thats it.
