Alcatraz
From Anarchopedia
Alcatraz is an island with the infamous Alcatraz prison.
It was occupied by the Red Power movement (WP) aka the United Indians of All Tribes in 1969.[1] The group demanded federal funds for a multifaceted cultural and educational center. They were visited by many activists and inspired other events. For instance, the following year on Thanksgiving 1970, the American Indian Movement (AIM) led their first protest: painting Plymouth Rock red and occupying the Mayflower II in Boston.- ↑ "Alcatraz Is Not an Island", Indian Activism, pbs.org, accessed 10 Nov 2009
