Notes
See: Sixties Date Machine. Also: "Hippies Make Faces at City Hall" by Dick Hallgren, S.F. Chronicle, May 9, 1968, p. 3.
Abstract
Announcement of a mass "mask-in" at City Hall to protest the "Poetry Bust" the previous day when Ron Thelin was arrested after Judge Axelrod confronted him for wearing a bandanna covering his face. Four others were also arrested, including Ama (aka Thomas C. Baker III) of Willard Street Commune (for wearing an American flag); Israel Jackson, also of Willard Street (for interfering with a police officer); Phyllis Wilner (for interfering with a police officer); and, Charles Perkel (for using profanity). The photograph appears to depict a nineteenth-century mining camp, over which a Free City printer has superimposed triangular masks on each face, converting a historical image into a contemporary emblem of anonymity, collectivity, and social theater.
