Preferred Citation [Identification of item], Alan Copeland Photograph Archive, BANC PIC 2017.041, The Bancroft Library, University of California, Berkeley. Scope and Content Journalistic photographs of events and other newsworthy topics in Berkeley, Oakland, San Francisco and other locations in the Bay Area, California and beyond, taken chiefly in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Subjects include the formation and early years of People's Park (Berkeley, Calif.); individuals and activities associated with the Black Panther Party; various demonstrations (anti-Vietnam War, Third World Liberation Front, etc.) at the University of California, Berkeley and San Francisco State University; the kidnapping of Patty Hearst by the Symbionese Liberation Army; mining operations on the Black Mesa plateau and other environmental aspects of the U.S. Southwest; the Berkeley Barb newspaper and its editor Max Scheer; and Timothy Leary. Other topics, covered less extensively, include San Francisco politicians Harvey Milk, George Moscone and Dianne Feinstein; the California wine and oil industries; San Francisco observation of John Lennon's funeral; Mick Jagger and the Rolling Stones performing at Altamont Speedway; Copeland's personal life during the 1960s and 1970s; the Berkeley Tribe newspaper; and numerous others. PIC boxes 1-2 and AX box 1 contain prints chiefly pertaining to People's Park and other Berkeley topics, demonstrations in San Francisco, and various environmental and cultural aspects of Black Mesa and the U.S. Southwest. Among the prints are also portraits and unidentified subjects. Finding Aid to the Alan Copeland BANC PIC 2017.041 2 Photograph Archive Collection also includes Copeland's annotated mock-up for his 1969 book People's Park (fALB box 1), which includes works by numerous photographers in addition to Copeland. The mock-up lacks a few images but is otherwise nearly identical in visual content to that of the publication. Also includes an oversize copy negative depicting a protestor wearing a gas mask and wielding a tear gas canister (NEG portfolio 1), a matching print of which is likely present among the PIC and/or AX files.

While America was economically wealthy after the war, it still had to deal with extremely difficult social and cultural challenges. Due to these new aspects of life, there were increasing differences in both the interests and values of children and their parents, what we have learned to call the "generation gap". The "generational gap" between the youth culture and their parents meant a polarizing society, each hating and completely misunderstanding the other.. This eventually resulted in a highly political youth culture that was laterally opposed to the government. Through isolation, the counterculture began to develop new philosophies and new ways of thinking, and a huge part of that philosophy was the pursuit of a "Good Society", a utopian dream for world peace.

  • Radical Action and a National Antiwar Movement: the Vietnam Day Committee
    Western Illinois Historical Review © 2012 Vol. IV, Spring 2012 ISSN 2153-1714 Radical Action and a National Antiwar Movement: The Vietnam Day Committee By Michael Lowe1 In August 1965, a few hundred demonstrators marched from the University of California, Berkeley campus to a provocative, dangerous antiwar demonstration. Flanked by policemen and flash bulbs, demonstrators stood on a Berkeley train track, carrying signs and chanting. A train carrying troops bound for the Oakland Army Terminal headed straight for them. Suspenseful seconds passed while many stayed put. The train let out an immense rush of steam, confusing demonstrators as a shrill, piercing conductor’s whistle rendered everything else chaotic but silent. One woman was pulled from the tracks moments before a collision, but other activists scrambling to escape the train’s path could not see through clouds of steam; the train to Oakland soon advanced forward, carrying troops closer to war. Throughout most of 1965 and the early months of 1966, Berkeley’s Vietnam Day Committee (VDC), an early antiwar organization which sought to build a nationwide consensus against the war, held rallies and supported the quick withdrawal of U.S. military forces in Vietnam. The group formed on the University of California, Berkeley campus while the Free Speech Movement (FSM) trials were reaching their conclusions; the VDC gained a great deal of attention among the general public and respect among the growing minority of antiwar students because of its connections with the FSM, which had recently achieved victories for student rights 1 Michael Lowe completed his research under the mentorship of Dr.

  • Freeing Voices of Dissent in the Underground Newspaper Collection
    Laurie Charnigo Prisoners of Microfilm Freeing Voices of Dissent in the Underground Newspaper Collection “We are a people, and a people must have their own voice, and that voice is the underground press.”1 - Thomas King Forcade 1. Bad juju I put the finishing touch on the display case in the lobby of our library, a sign in bold newsprint: “Come Explore the UPS Underground Newspaper 41 Collection (1963-1975)!” Stepping back to admire my creation, I almost had to brace myself against the dizzying psychedelic collage of graphics. This display screamed not only “Look at me!” but “Damn! I’m cool!” And oh how cool it was covered with photos, comics, and covers from a wide range of colorful Vietnam-era ‘underground’ newspapers. The bright art of Black Panther’s Emory Douglas shouted “Power to the People!” Psychedelic covers of the San Francisco Oracle flashed Vedic Motifs, bearded gurus, and hookah- smoking shamans. Gilbert Sheldon’s Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers and Trina Robbins’ feminist superheroes playfully danced throughout the display. There were photos of protesters marching for civil rights, gay rights, women’s rights, and in opposition to the war in Vietnam. There were raised fists of solidarity, peace signs, concert posters, a real lava lamp (which I hoped wouldn’t burn the library down), and covers of the Berkeley Barb, Avatar, the Los Angeles Free Press, and many others. Books about the Vietnam-era underground press were featured prominently throughout the display, such as Ken Wachsberger’s extensive Voices from the Underground series and John McMillian’s Smoking Typewriters: The Sixties Underground Press and the Rise of Alternative Media Laurie Charnigo is education librarian at Jacksonsville State University in Alabama.

  • (IUH) Was a Nationally Publicized Living Laboratory That Remodeled Marginal Housing Stock to Prefigure the Urban Commune of a Future Ecotopia
    Design Radicals Lee Stickells The Integral Urban House Berkeley’s Integral Urban House (IUH) was a nationally publicized living laboratory that remodeled marginal housing stock to prefigure the urban commune of a future ecotopia. Belying its staid Victorian exterior, the house embodied a revolutionary transformation of urban life. Solar energy collectors, a windmill built of recycled oil drums, and biosystems including a composting toilet, fruit trees and raised vegetable beds, a greenhouse, an aquaculture pond, beehives, and pens for rabbits and chickens echoed the functional network of broader ecological systems. Operating from 1975 to 1984, the IUH and its reimagined domestic practices demonstrated a radical alternative to North America’s consumerist suburban housing. It also offered a substitute for the period’s back-to-the-land pastoralism: a counter-project that melded an everyday countercultural environmentalism with ecological design experimentation—yielding a new urban subjectivity of lived ecology. While its architecture appeared ordinary, and the project was largely ignored by professional design journals, the IUH held an important place within a Bay Area countercultural design milieu committed to exploring how ecological relationships and practices could be performed differently. Far from retreating from pressing socio-economic and political issues, its exploration of domestic infrastructural self-reliance became a platform for collective action. In doing so it upended the conventional use of model houses as templates for suburban mass consumerism, instead emphasizing architecture’s role in scaffolding radically collective domesticity, right livelihood and an emerging bioregionalism. [FIGURE X. View of the IUH?] The Farallones Institute The IUH was a tool for revolutionizing the way Americans lived, borne of a series of shared meals at a Chinese restaurant in Berkeley.
