In 1970, as a protest of President Nixon’s Southeast Asian “policies of murder,” IU South Bend students held Cambodia Week. The week was scheduled with events on campus such as a reading of war dead and ceremonial digging of a grave on campus; talks by student government members; guerilla theater; a teach-in on draft resistance, a history of Cambodia, Southeast Asia, and the United States; a rock concert; and a mass march with the wider community in downtown South Bend on March 9th.
