those that did migrated to UVa. William Kuntsler (Chicago 7 attorney) & Jerry Rubin (one of the Chicago 7) gave speeches while Virginia State Troopers used U Hall as a staging area, before storming the Lawn and arresting 68 students, including law students acting as "legal marshals".

I lived at 1800 JPA and had a job on The Corner (Lloyd's Rexall). My walking route to work included walking along the lawn, and the next morning, after Marshall Law was instituted, it was lined with State Troopers in full riot gear.

As the reporter for the Daily Progress assigned to cover UVA at the time, I was there for all of it. Gates did a great job recounting.

I was there for all the Vietnam War protests on the Grounds. My news nose sent me rushing to the top of Edgar Shannon’s front porch because it was clear Kunstler’s speech inspired the audience to amass on Carr’s Hill and demand confrontation or else. I sat in a porch glider and took notes.

I was there when UVA went through the upheavals of court-ordered undergraduate coeducation and integration. Delicate times.

I was there in the thick of it the night the army of shield-bearing state troopers massed in front of Madison Hall, brandishing night sticks, and faced a larger army of students across the street brandishing idealism. Martial law had been proclaimed via bullhorn. The students were told to go home. They didn’t.

I was there when 68 people, most of them students, were loaded into a Mayflower moving van provided by a sympathetic Lloyd Wood for transportation to the city police station. It was there that the area’s major real estate developer, Dr. Charles Hurt (Med ’54), awakened from sleep by his pastor, bailed them out. Thanks for the memories. By the time you’re 81, no cup is large enough to hold them.
