Ken Burns' multi-part PBS documentary “The Vietnam War” wraps up this week. The series looks at a tense moment in U.S. history when Americans were choosing sides and getting involved. Many students on college campuses were galvanized against the war.

Rachael Myrow (@rachaelmyrow) of KQED has the story of a former student from San Jose State University who was caught up in a campus protest.
