Depiction: Close up off silhouette of a National Guard soldier who's carrying a bayonet. Behind him is a chainlink fence and the sign "People's Park" which has been partially covered by a new sign reading "Fort Defiance." Photo caption reads: Two National Guard troops stand guard around the fenced area known previously as "People's Park" and renamed by the soldiers as "Fort Defiance." The area has been the center of contention between the street people of Berkeley and the University of California for the past two weeks and the object of a Memorial Day rally and march by students and demonstrators.
The examination and research of objects within OMCA’s collection is ongoing.
