Hello Listeners! Welcome back to the podcast. Today Big Jim and I talk about a locally historic park in the Bay Area, People's Park.
The city of Berkeley then, just as it is now, was a hotspot for peace and love✌, the hippie movement, and of course marijuana. But, not on May 15, 1969. Instead, this day was known as Bloody Thursday.
4,500 Local's, Activist's, and Student's take to the streets to stop Cal Berkeley and State government from turning #PeoplesPark into a parking lot.
As a result of the protest, 1 person was shot dead, and another was left permanently blind from a shot of Buckshot to the face.
