Oral History of the Haste Street Squat
Tuesday, June 5th, 2012 | Uncategorized
In 1988 hundreds of people seized and occupied a large abandoned University-of-California-Berkeley owned house on Haste Street. Before the police raided the house a week later, people had already created an amazing community and had successfully faced down tough internal challenges. People who were there remember it as a transformative experience.
There will be a discussion with people who were there, recalling what happened and how – And what lessons that might have been learned then could apply to the ongoing imediate struggles.
This is part of an Ongoing Long Haul Oral History project which takes place on the third Sunday of each month.
