Demonstration is held against U.S. involvement in Vietnam.

It is held at the South Boston District Court House at 535 east Broadway. The demonstrators are there to support 11 young people who had been arrested for participating in a sit-in at the Boston Army Base on March 25, 1966 and are reporting for their arraignment. After four young men burn their draft cards on the steps of the court house, they are set upon by members of a crowd of some 250 (including students from South Boston High School) that had gathered to heckle them. The antiwar activists flee inside the court house to safety. The four men who had burned their draft cards are subsequently charged and found guilty of a federal offense and sentenced to from two to five years in prison.
