SUMMARY:Coit Tower Mural Walk
DESCRIPTION:With Peter O’Driscoll and Harvey Smith\nIn the past few years there has been a growing community effort to defend the Coit Tower murals from leaking water and to stop plans for privatization of the site. This led to the critical renovation of the murals on their 80th anniversary. They were being painted during the time of the 1934 General Strike in San Francisco. LaborFest will hold its annual guided tour of the murals with Peter O’Driscoll and Harvey Smith. At the time of their installation\, an organized effort was made to destroy them because of the leftist themes. The artists and their supporters had to physically defend the site. The murals were successfully defended and we have them today as our heritage. The artists were working under the Civil Works Administration and Public Works of Art program\, which was later extended to many buildings and sites throughout the U.S.\nArticle:How Coit Tower’s murals became a target for anticommunist forces (By Gary Kamiya – 7/7/2017-SF Chronicle)

SUMMARY:Play reading: Painting Coit Tower
DESCRIPTION:Reading of scenes from new play about the Coit Tower murals and the artists who painted them\n \nWith Jon Golinger\, founder of Protect Coit Tower\n“What do powerful men fear most? Honest questions from free minds. Brush fresh paint on a blank slate – who knows what you may find?” So says artist Bernard Zakheim in a scene from “Painting Coit Tower\,” a new play that tells the amazing story of the Coit Tower murals – how they came to be and why they remain just as meaningful today as when they were painted 83 years ago. Scenes from the play will be read in an informal setting at the Canessa Gallery\, located on the very block of Montgomery Street where the Coit Tower mural story begins.\nSponsored by Protect Coit Tower.  \nFor more information email: ProtectCoitTower@gmail.com

SUMMARY:The Origins of the US Military in the Indian Wars
DESCRIPTION:By Roxanne Dunbar Ortiz\nProfessor Roxanne Dunbar Ortiz in this talk will look at the history of the U.S. military in expanding U.S. imperial interests and establishing a state based on genocide and slavery.\nThe military built by the colonies that coalesced into the independent U.S. military developed out of continual genocidal wars against Native nations in taking the continent during the first 100 years. President Garfield in the Compromise of 1877 moved troops from the South\, to stop the St. Louis Commune\, which was established to support the national strike of railroad workers against wage cuts.\nThe military\, with 3\,000 federal troops and 5\,000 deputized special police\, killed at least eighteen people in St. Louis. The commune included not only railroad workers and other unionists but also African Americans and Native Americans. The Missouri senators who called for the military were themselves shareholders in the railroads that were being struck.\nSponsored by the Women’s International League for Peace & Freedom
