Description: This is a screen capture taken from the public domain newsreel footage of Universal News, given into public domain by MCA in 1976 and hosted by Internet Archive at https://archive.org/details/CEP531. The footage shows an anti-war protest in New York City in 1967, including a group of young men burning their draft cards. The protest was held in Sheep Meadow in Central Park; author Jerry Elmer calls it "the first large-scale burning of individual draft cards by resisters". The uniformed Army reservist in a beret is Gary Rader, who burned his card.
