The peaceful march was disrupted by protesters. One week later, Betty Williams organized another march this time the march was 35,000 STRONG.

1961--Two students in Portugal raised they're glasses and toasted to Freedom and were imprisoned for seven years. British Lawyer Peter Benenson was shocked by the events. To rally support for the students he wrote a letter to his local paper. The response was so overwhelming that a committe was formed to organize the campaign, It quickly grew into a World-Wide movement known today as Amnesty International.
