National Guardsmen Stand Watch at Fenced People's Park During Berkeley Protest, May 30, 1969
National Guardsmen stand watch behind a newly erected fence at Berkeley's People's Park, May 30, 1969, as thousands of protesters gather outside. The park, built without university authorization on UC-owned land, had been forcibly reclaimed two weeks earlier in a clash that left one bystander dead — a flashpoint in the era's struggle between the counterculture movement and state authority.
