Winne Memorial Grove

La Jolla, United States of America

George Winne Jr. (April 2, 1947 – May 11, 1970) was an American student who, in protest of the United States' involvement in the Vietnam War, set himself on fire in an act of self-immolation at Revelle Plaza on the campus of the University of California, San Diego. The incident took place less than

a month after the American invasion of Cambodia and one week after the Kent State Massacre.
