Eleanor Fischer attends the Peace March in New York City on April 15, 1967. She interviews various groups of people marching including the Shalom Aleichem Club, groups of African-Americans against the war, Italian artists living in New York, and a group of Native Americans from the Rosebud Sioux Tribe from South Dakota. Fischer does get some audio of an observer making comments about the protesters being communists. She interviews a councilman from New York, and Mrs. Cyrus Eaton from Cleveland, OH, the wife of a well known Ohio philanthropist.
