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\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\n\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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Henry \"Sam\" Chauncey","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48281948913915,"sku":"9781632260666","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/3917\/9771\/files\/CoreSourceHub_2473c154-f3e9-488e-813c-351c3bbd57d4.jpg?v=1775840178","url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/may-day-at-yale1970-recollections-9781632260666","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
