It is a simple volume with little that is distinctive or decorative about it except that there is nothing wrong; the proportions of page and margins title size of types and composition tone of paper and quality of press work offer nothing for obvious criticism.

1969180251969. 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
1969221101969. Radical Activism Latino Chicano African American Counterculture Rare and powerful student protest pamphlet issued by the Third World Liberation Front TWLF during the landmark 1969 strike at the University of California Berkeley. This publication documents one of the most significant multiethnic student-led movements in American higher education in which Black Chicano Asian American and other marginalized students united to demand institutional recognition self-determination and community control of education. Strike 1969. Third World Liberation Front. Berkeley: Third World Liberation Front 1969. Scarce. 20 pages. Illustrated with political cartoons timeline and protest photography. Original stapled self-wrappers. The pamphlet features a cartoon cover by Berkeley underground artist Roger Ashe depicting a porcine police figure sprawled before Sather Gate beneath the ominous quote from Chancellor Heyns: "Sather Gate will be kept open by any means necessary."<br /> <br /> The TWLF strike began on January 22 1969 as a coordinated campaign to compel the university to establish a Third World College with departments in Black Chicano and Asian Studies led and staffed by members of those respective communities. As the pamphlet declares "The fundamental issue of this strike is the right of Third World people to determine the structure and content of the Third World programs on this campus." It criticizes the university's paternalistic posture: "We don't need to be told what to think or how to do it; we are capable of determining on our own what kind of education we want and need." The demand for autonomy is inseparable from a critique of white liberalism and institutional racism: "The racist power structure does not give up power willingly. Rights are not given; they must be won." The chronology details escalating confrontation between students and administration from early demands submitted by the Afro-American Student Union in April 1968 to the full mobilization of TWLF in January 1969. In February and March the university deployed the National Guard and police to violently suppress protests leading to mass arrests injuries and academic discipline. The pamphlet exposes these tactics as deliberate repression: "The TWLF wants to make it clear that the so-called legal system cannot get away with this type of terror tactic." It calls for amnesty asserting: "All disciplinary charges against cited students be dropped. Academic amnesty will be granted to all striking students." On the final page a clenched fist graphic accompanies the colophon: "Written and distributed by the Third World Liberation Front." Staple rust and light toning to edges; minor handling creases to wrappers. Unbound. Overall very good condition. A critical primary source from one of the most important student strikes in American history Strike 1969 captures the voice and vision of a generation of radical students of color fighting for educational sovereignty and racial justice at the height of the Black Power and Chicano movements. unknown
