Description
Flyer reporting the arrival of police, snipers, bulldozers taking over the park. Originally, a mass meeting was scheduled at UC-Berkeley's Sproul Plaza to support Israel. This quickly became a rally to save People's Park. Richard York spoke, "The spirit which built People's Park is stronger than gas and clubs. It is even stronger than universities. As followers of Jesus, we are committed to stand with that spirit, the sprit of the poor and alienated trying to create a new world on vacant lots of the old." Michael Lerner let Dan Siegel, president-elect of the student body, go next. Siegel told the crowd to go down and take back the park. The confrontation led to law enforcement personnel from outside of Berkeley firing buckshot into the crowd injuring over a hundred and killing one.
