Berkeley Radical 60s Walk

July 20 @ 10:00 am - 12:00 pm PDT

Free

10:00 AM Meet at St. Joseph the Worker Church – 1640 Addison Street, west of McGee Avenue, Berkeley

Walk with Harvey Smith
The McGee-Spaulding District could be considered a hotbed of Berkeley 1960s radicalism and counterculture given the number of noted activists and alternative living communities located in the neighborhood. This walk will explore the many locations where activists lived and the houses that were home to experimental communes. We will briefly explore the political and social roots of these causes, the intervening backlash, and the lasting influence of the counterculture movements of the ‘60s.

The route is entirely level and wheelchair accessible.
