Thursday, May 15th, 1969-Berkeley
At 6 a.m. the ominous zooming, war-sound, of helicopter breaks into our sleep.
To the Park: ringed with police. Bulldozers have moved in. Barely awake, the people- those who had made for each other a green place- begin to gather at the corners.
Their tears fall on sidewalk cement. The fence goes up, twice a man’s height. Everyone knows (yet no one yet believes it) what all shall know this day, and the days that follow: now, the clubs, the gas, bayonets, bullets. The War comes home to us...
Berklee’s poetry Walk was laid in October 2003 along Edison Street between Shattuck and Milvia Streets. The route includes 128 metal plates with excerpts from songs, each of which is related in one way or another to the city of Berkeley.
The plaque features a poem by the British-born American poet Denise Levertov (1923-1997), who taught in 1969 at the University of Berkeley.
