Alcatraz takeover press conference
About This Item
KQED news report from June 14th 1971 featuring a press conference held by Federal authorities, following their removal of American Indian activists from Alcatraz. Attorney for Northern District of California James L. Browning, Jr. claims their intervention was provoked by a statement from the Indian's attorney a few days earlier: "We recieved the word that in the event the government would not immediately present to them some proposal, giving them either use or title to the island, that they were prepared to (quote) 'do something' (unquote), in respect to the island."
