meetings is to further SCLC’s
National Campaign for Am

to pass legislation that would
grant Amnesty to the more
than 500,000 men who refused
to fight in the illegal Vietnam
War. SCLC is also seeking
amnesty for the thousands who
did fight in the war, but were
given less than Honorable
Discharges.
SCLC feels that these men
are being penalized and
punished because they cannot
hnd gainful employment and
these less than honorable
discharges are a permanent
scar against them for life.
