Hi friends,

TONIGHT! At 10:30 p.m. on KUSF-FM, 90.3, part 2 of the Land Grabs Talk.


NEXT WEEK, at 8 *p.m.** on Wednesday, April 11*, the somewhat abbreviated
Spring Talks calendar begins at CounterPULSE, 1310 Mission at 9th.

*First program: When the **Mission** Was Low and Slow*

Join a special screening and talk by members of the Mission Archives on
April 11, 8 pm, at CounterPULSE. Back in the late 1970s and early 1980s
Mission Street was famously the home to a wild scene of lowriders every
weekend. Bouncing, shimmying, and gleaming cars full of excited kids and
long-time Missionistas would sometimes stretch along Mission from 16th all
the way out to Geneva and back again. A unique public space erupted every
week for several years in the face of police harassment, created and
maintained by the ever resourceful youth of Latino San Francisco. Join
original participants, . lmmakers and today's young activists with rarely
seen footage, the trailer for a new documentary, "Why We Ride: From Low to
Show," shares the stories about the unique culture of the lowrider movement
in San Francisco Mission District and the silencing of that culture by the
police. We'll also discuss the changing nature of youth culture, street
life, public space, and life in San Francisco's Mission District.

The event is free, but donations $5-$50 are requested to help both
CounterPULSE, the evening's host, and the Mission Archives/Conscious Youth
Media Crew, who are providing facilities and video training for local youth.

Mission St. for the *Bicycle History tour* covering the theme of *Transit
History*. Bring snacks and water, sun protection, and prepare for any kind
of weather! Chris Carlsson will lead the tour…
