A partnership with Golden Gate National Recreation Area
Sábado, 2/12/2022

Community activists do not exist in a vacuum. Instead, they support, inspire and influence each other. Join Ranger Fatima to learn about the Native American activists who occupied Alcatraz from 1969–71, and their relationship to other groups such as the Black Panthers and Brown Berets, who were also fighting for civil rights in their own communities during the same era.
