This is a photograph of the People’s Park Mobile Annex in Berkeley, California in May 1969. The Mobile Annex was an offshoot of the People’s Park. The People’s Park activists’ goal was “letting a thousand parks bloom.” With that thought in mind, the activists created the People’s Park Mobile Annex, which was a two-block section of the Hearst Corridor.
