Los Angeles County reschedules "Jane Fonda Day" due to Vietnamese American backlash over original date coinciding with "Black April."
Los Angeles County moves "Jane Fonda Day" from April 30 to April 8 following backlash from Vietnamese Americans.

Jane Fonda's opposition to the U.S. involvement in Vietnam and her trip to North Vietnam in the 1970s were cited as reasons for the backlash.
