According to contemporary newspaper accounts, over 2,000 demonstrators turned up for the march from the Golden Gate Park Panhandle to Civic Center Plaza, where Muhammad Ali was the featured speaker. Per the \u003ci\u003eOakland Tribune\u003c\/i\u003e (April 28, 1968, p. 3), Ali was \"alternately booed and cheered as he urged continuation of racial segregation. Shouts of 'Ali, go home' rang out as he declared that no intelligent 'so-called Negro' would want his daughter to marry a white.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eNotably, this was still relatively early on in Ali's antiwar speeches, which began in February 1968 at college campuses as a way to make money while banned from boxing; Ali was arrested, had his boxing license suspended, and was stripped of his heavyweight title on April 28, 1967, after he declared himself a conscientious objector and refused to serve in the military. As Andrew Wolfson points out, Ali's consciousness expanded by leaps and bounds during the course of 1968. While his earliest speeches leaned heavily on talking points from the Nation of Islam, he soon became a speaker able to elucidate a complex resistance to the war based on his own experiences as a Black man, his religious convictions as a Muslim, and to appeal to a broad range of audience members (\u003ci\u003eUSA Today, \u003c\/i\u003eFeb. 19, 2018, \"Mohammed Ali lost everything in opposing the Vietnam War. But in 1968 he triumphed.\"). The result was \"The People's Champ,\" a man who lost millions by opposing the war but who eventually earned the admiration of the nation, especially as public opinion turned against the war, and who inspired countless Black athletes and activists to act on the strength of their convictions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eOther speakers at the April 27 protest included Vanessa Redgrave, Jeannette Rankin, Arnold True, Bobby Seale, and Sidney Roger.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eOCLC locates one holding, at Northwestern University.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"[Vietnam War \/ African American]","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44788909998149,"sku":"3935","price":1500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0028\/6978\/8741\/files\/3935.jpg?v=1773781223"},{"product_id":"km-002970","title":"The Lampost.

Near Fine.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePoster promoting a July 4, 1978 rally for Dessie Woods in San Francisco, in solidarity with the national march held in Plains, Georgia, President Carter's hometown. The poster includes a collage of b\u0026amp;w photographic images of Black people being arrested, beaten, standing behind bars in a jail cell, and in a group with fists raised, as well as one image of two Black children; a green illustration of the continent of Africa overlaps these images, with an illustration in the center of Dessie Woods with a raised fist. Speakers at the rally included the National Committee to Defend Dessie Woods, the African People's Socialist Party, the Zimbabwe African National Union, the RNA 11 Defense Committee, and others.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNotably, although the San Francisco march was almost certainly the larger of the two, no major newspaper covered the event -- even the San Francisco Chronicle only reported on the Plains, Georgia, march, attended by 100 or 300 protestors (accounts differ).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOCLC locates one holding at the University of Michigan, and we note one other at OMCA.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"[Woods, Dessie].

Good.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eA collection of flyers, letters, and news sheets circulated by activists looking to claim community control of People’s Park. The University of California secured the plot of land through eminent domain, but it remained underdeveloped for several years due to lack of funds. In the meantime, a group of local residents, including some veterans of the Free Speech Movement, gathered to propose alternative uses for the parcel as a public park for rallies and events, going so far as to begin landscaping without the University’s approval. The University fenced off the parcel and, on May 15, ordered armed local and state police to disperse protestors. Over 100 injured individuals were reported as a result of the ensuing conflict and James Rector, a bystander, was killed by police. The National Guard was deployed that evening to subdue further protest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe documents were produced by protestors in order to circulate news and information about upcoming protests. The \u003ci\u003eInstant News Service\u003c\/i\u003e was a 4-page daily produced by protestors in the immediate aftermath of the police violence of May 15 and was meant to provide up to the minute updates. One issue claims a circulation of five to ten thousand. The articles are an important primary source for how protestors were responding to police tactics; they include reports on tear gas, testimony from witnesses of the shooting of James Rector, and announcements of aid for arrestees. The earliest item is dated February 6 and is a typed transcription of a letter to the editor of the San Francisco Chronicle criticizing Reagan’s (then California’s governor) crackdown on People’s Park. The documents are mostly dated May 21 to May 26.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eIncluded is the unrecorded debut issue of \u003ci\u003eDefendants’ Newsletter\u003c\/i\u003e, a hastily produced journal seeking to organize arrestees. Its cover states “due to the printing costs of this newsletter, distribution must be limited to those people busted in events stemming from the fencing of the park.” A majority of the flyers and documents indicate that the labor of typesetting and printing was donated. Most materials are typed and dittoed with some done as photocopies and offset.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eA substantive collection on a major political issue in Berkeley that had wide influence on social protest actions nationwide.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"[Berkeley \/ Radicalism]","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45757554851909,"sku":"2866","price":2000.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0028\/6978\/8741\/files\/2866.jpg?v=1789497301"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0028\/6978\/8741\/collections\/DSC_0190.jpg?v=1550534119","url":"https:\/\/mitasbooks.com\/collections\/california.oembed?page=3","provider":"Kate Mitas, Bookseller","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
