\centerline{\hl Sight-Seeing for Anarchists}

The Bay Area is rich in radical, labor and anarchist history.¨
Here is a small and very incomplete list of sites and their¨
historical significance.

{\bf Mission and Steuart Streets}. Three ``rioters'' were shot to¨
death by the cops during the General Strike of 1932.

{\bf Market and Steuart Streets}. A bomb went off here during the¨
S.F. War-Preparedness Day Parade on 22 July 1916. Radical union¨
organizers Tom Mooney and Warren Billings were railroaded to jail¨
on a frame-up and the cops used the bombing as a pretext to¨
suppress the anarchist and radical labor movements.

{\bf 569 Dolores}. Mary Eleanor Fitzgerald and Alexander Bergman¨
lived and published the \circleA\ magazine \underbar{The}¨
\underbar{Blast} here.

{\bf The Haight-Ashbury}. The cauldron neighborhood that brewed¨
the counter-cultural hippy revolution of the `60's. The Golden¨
Gate Panhandle was where the `60's anarchist group The Diggers¨
gave out free food and practiced ``free'' as a revolutionary¨
program.

{\bf Jefferson Square -- Gough and Turk}. Not much here but in¨
the '10's and '20's union, anarchist, socialist and radical soap¨
box orators filled the park calling for the overthrow of¨
capitalism and the state.

{\bf Volonta Anarchist Group Meeting Place, 1602 Stockton and¨
Union Streets, North Beach}. The ``Gruppo Anarchico Volonta'', an¨
Italian anarchist propaganda group, operated a meeting place and¨
library here in the 1910's, featuring ``discussions in English¨
and Italian every Saturday Evening.''

{\bf Peoples' Park/Berkeley -- Dwight and College Streets}. U.C.¨
Berkeley's decision to turn an open field into a parking lot¨
sparked riots and resistance resulting in then-Governor Ronald¨
Reagan (1969) calling in the National Guard to suppress the¨
escalating revolution. One man died and many were injured. Today¨
U.C. wants to build a dorm there. Homeless people live in the¨
park and the battle lines are drawn again. The Catholic Workers¨
have illegally moved in a large trailer and operate it as ``The¨
Peoples' Cafe''.
