This book comes from first hand experiences, both in word and in
pictures. 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. On 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. Like 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.
