DESCRIPTION:In the spring of 1968, the Berkeley street community initiated a project to 
 transform a barren and unused UC Berkeley-owned lot into a park for the 
 whole community to enjoy - a space that got named People's Park. Because 
 the park threatened the control of the university and presented a challenge 
 to the concept of private property, on May 15, 1969, then governor Ronald 
 Reagan called in the police and CHP which turned the peaceful protest into 
 violence against the protesters.\n\nThe future of People's Park is again in 
 jeopardy as UC Berkeley proposes to build housing in the park area.\nWe'll 
 show short films featuring the struggle and riots in 1969 when people 
 created the iconic park. We'll follow with a panel highlighting the current 
 efforts to retain this public space.\n\nPanelists:\n- Members of People’s 
 Park Organizing Committee:\n- Michael Delacour, key activist in the 
 struggles to establish Peoples Park Berkeley Ca\n- Joseph Liesner\n- Lisa 
 Teague\n- Aidan Hill\n
