![Berkeley SDS on Aftermath of People’s Park](images/fileicons/nodigital.png)
This tape contains an interview with members of Berkeley SDS after a police crackdown on protestors in People’s Park. The interview details how 200-400 cops descended on People’s Park. SDS claims that this repression was an excuse for administrators and the power structure to crack down and intimidate the student movement. They claim that this action is a part of a larger context of repression. It’s acknowledged that Black students and Black people have experienced this repression for years; the work-in conducted by SDS was a major threat to state power (student-worker alliance) and the opinion that the decision to fire on the students, resulting in two being killed, came from a national level.
