This is the third photo in a series of four. The four photos are taped together with masking tape. On the back of the first photo (H98.1.988) is a handwritten description in black pen. This reads: "Pics - #1 & #2 show the kids carrying [the] asphalt from "Peoples Park" out to the street and #3 & #4 shows more kids picking asphalt out of street and throwing it back on the sidewalk." Each photo is identified with a number (1,2,3,4) written in black ink on the back of each photo. This third photo shows a group of young adults gathered in People's Park. The chain-link fence around the park has been knocked down and is lying in the street. The majority of the people gathered are "hanging out" - standing and talking with each other. Three young adults, two males and a female, are working to clear the street of asphalt. Together they are lifting large pieces of asphalt and placing them on the sidewalk. Anti-war protesters staged a series of violent demonstrations in reaction to a speech given by President Richard Nixon on the evening of May 8, 1972. In the speech, President Nixon set forth new military strategy, which initiated the mining of North Vietnamese harbors. During the course of these protests, demonstrators ripped down the 8' chain-link fence surrounding "People's Park", and, using pick-axes, they destroyed the 10' x 100' parking lot.
