Right from the early days of the US government intervention (and then pouring troops directly into the battlefield of South Vietnam) within the US, there were conflicts and protests against this war.
Progressive Americans who clearly opposed the war in Vietnam were members of the Communist Party of the United States of America (CPUSA). Founded in 1919, it is a political organization in the United States closely associated with the labor movement of the 1920s to 1940s, forming most of the major U.S industrial unions. During the war in Vietnam, the leaders of CPUSA always advocated against and called on the community to condemn this war. This is an organization of Marxist members, supporting countries against imperialism. The leaders of the Communist Party of America were active in anti-war movements. One of the members who had a great influence on the activities of the Communist Party of the United States as well as the anti-war movement was Angela Yvonne Davis. Angela Yvonne Davis was born in 1944, joined the Communist Party of the United States from 1969-1991. In 1970 Angela was arrested by the US FBI on charges of kidnapping, murder and was detained for 16 months awaiting trial. During the detention period, from 1970-1972, movements for the freedom of Angela and political prisoners broke out. During her time at CPUSA, she had many active activities to fight for gender equality for women and people of color. She is the author of the book "Women, Race and Class" - one of the 10 famous books promoting feminism in America. In 1980 Angela was one of the representatives of the United States Communist Party to run for Vice President of the United States. Angela's image was designed and appeared on anti-war badges during the war as well as during the campaign.

Washington, D.C.; The founder and leader of the Young Workers' Liberation League (YWLL) of Chicago awarded many badges to the War Remnants Museum, including many related to the "powerful" woman named Angela Yvonne Davis.
