I remember being downtown [[Kennedy Square) for an anti-war protest while a large fire was in progress. My sister told me it was the day of the moratorium but it turns out that was a different day. Either there was a large protest going on the same day as this fire [[April 15, 1970) or there also was a fire on Moratorium Day.
