<p class="MsoNormal">Hi friends,</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">TONIGHT! At 10:30 p.m.
on KUSF-FM, 90.3, part 2 of the Land Grabs Talk.<br> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">NEXT WEEK, at 8 <b>p.m.</b><b>
on Wednesday, April 11</b>, the somewhat abbreviated Spring Talks calendar
begins at CounterPULSE, 1310 Mission
at 9th. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>First program: When the </b><b>Mission</b><b>
Was Low and Slow</b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style=""><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Join a special screening and talk by members of the
Mission Archives on April 11, </span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">8 pm</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">,
at CounterPULSE. Back in the late 1970s and early </span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">1980s Mission Street</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> 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 </span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">San Francisco</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">'s Mission District.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style=""><span style="font-size: 11pt;">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. (<i><a href="http://www.cymc415.org">www.cymc415.org</a> or </i>)</span></p>
