1969ref. 180251969. Distributed by the Radical Student Union at UC Berkeley. Outcry! from Occupied Berkeley. Vol. 2. May 1969. Quadruple folded. This newsletter gives the chronology of the clash over People's Park that occurred on May 15 1969 which was precipitated by the University's desire to turn a lot near campus that it had razed and purchased into a sports arena. The University aggressively acquired this land and razed the buildings on it due to concerns about growing crime. However in the months that followed hippies and other people in the community started to repurpose the land which had fallen into disrepair to create a community space with functional gardens and leisure areas and thus People's Park was born. The Park was soon enclosed and patrolled by National Guardsmen until the tension reached a fever pitch on May 15 when an Alameda County Sheriff's Deputy fired upon a peaceful onlooker James Rector who later died from his wounds. This newsletter gives this history in greater details and calls upon people to rally to People's Park. It denounces capitalist property relations the Vietnam War and imperialism police brutality and sexism. On verso is a print of a fist emerging from a rose that has sundered the earth around it with the slogan "Let a thousand parks bloom." In very good condition. unknown
