WEEKEND GATHERING PROTEST PROTEST SCHEDULE

On May 1, 1970, New Haven, Connecticut, was the site of a national protest, a pivotal trial, and a college campus in uproar. Such were the unique circumstances surrounding the arrest of the group of Black Panther activists known as the “New Haven Nine” for the murder of Alex Rackley, a suspected FBI informant. At a time when racialized violence and oppression against Black people was widespread and well known in the United States, the May Day Rally represented a renewed call for racial justice from New Haven residents, affiliates of Yale University, and activists from around the country, including but not limited to those from the Black Panther Party.
