It’s the 90th anniversary of the San Francisco General Strike, so we’ll walk along remnants of the working waterfront & also discuss May 4th being the anniversary of the 1970 Kent State Massacre, Tom Mooney's frame-up in 1916 & other Bay Area anti-war protests, the Italian anarchists in North Beach, the 1969-1971 Occupation of Alcatraz, Occupy SF in 2011, the hideous (and long gone) Embarcadero Freeway that sparked the citywide anti-Freeway Revolt, the battle over the I-Hotel in Manilatown and the fight against gentrification, and many other social movements that define the Bay Area.
