In 1972, a ship loaded with military supplies was bound for South Vietnam. But first it would stop at Leonardo, New Jersey, to take on more supplies. At Leonardo, canoes were tied together and temporarily prevented the ship from coming into port. When it did dock, people sat down on the train tracks that led out to the ship. Lillian Willoughby was arrested, and officers ordered people to hurry up to get into the bus. Lillian pointed a fi nger at one officer and said directly but calmly, “You don’t have to do this.” The officer stopped ordering people around.
