This month marks the 35th anniversary of the
Bank of America burning and riots in Isla Vista. The events of February 1970 were in protest of the Vietnam war, the firing of anti-establishment Professor Bill Allen, and followed the takeover of North Hall by black students who demanded equal treatment at the newly integrated campus.
Only things that are burned around here these days are couches.
Read/listen/watch our little ghetto by the sea's proud protest history. Featuring KCSB sound! (KCSB became the first media outlet in U.S. history to be shut down by the FCC as a result of their coverage of the riots)
