Detroit Committee to End the War in Vietnam
The Detroit Committee to End the War in Vietnam (DCEWV) was the citywide anti-war organization that mobilized numerous actions in Detroit, United States between 1965 and 1973[1] and helped bring thousands of people to mass protests in Washington, D.C.[2] Often there was internal conflict over slogans and politics within the group between social democrats, members of Students for a Democratic Society, and the Socialist Workers Party, which finally gained ascendency.
The DCEWV was supplanted by the Detroit Coalition to End the War Now, which was a broader organization.
Much of the history is available through contemporary reports in the Fifth Estate newspaper available at different archives including the University of Michigan's Labadie Collection.
