Baby Boomers, who were at or approaching college age, were directly affected by the draft and the Vietnamese War. As a result, student activists were the first to organize and actively protest the war. Reared on civil rights activism, they knew the components needed to put together a strong and effective movement. In addition to students, the peace movement was propelled forward by others such as mothers, anti-establishment counter cultures, African Americans, artists, clergy, educators, entertainers, women's rights groups, Chicano movements, journalists, lawyers and physicians.
