On June 6th Kennedy gave the commencement speech at San Diego State College at the Aztec Bowl in front of 30,000 people. Before that, according to author Bill Vivian, "When the President's motorcade reached Park and Cajon Boulevards, it slowed to a crawl before the 8-mile route down El Cajon Boulevard, past a purported quarter of a million people, which included democratic sign-waving clubs, high school bands, protesters, residents, law enforcement offices, and a reviewing stand packed with dignitaries."
