It offers a partial record of a community and an institution coming together to accommodate an event while deflecting its potential violence. The history of the New Haven Green bridges over four centuries. It has served as a place for worship, for grazing cattle, staging revolutions, witness to hangings, and various campaigns.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOn the day before and on May Day of 1970, Yale University and New Haven prepared to host an agitated congregation of young civil rights activists with a diverse list of causes, but focused mainly on freeing Bobby Seale, the Black Panther leader. This book gives a glimpse of that diversity; diverse in cause, attitude, and dress. Marked changes in mood evolved over the approximate 32 hours. Yale and New Haven could be proud of avoiding real violence and blood shed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLike an archeological record, it exhibits not only the New Haven Green on that one day, but marks a broader shift in direction for a county at large. For those who were there, it seems painfully near. For later generations, it is likely a remote abstraction.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ALLIANCE DIST - SF","offers":[{"title":"Default","offer_id":41867000414341,"sku":"PR434433","price":88.2,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/smartfoxbooks.co.nz\/products\/may-day-at-yale1970-recollections","provider":"Smartfox Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
