Clip shows a nighttime protest in the Mission District of San Francisco and just the beginnings of a daytime rally outside of San Francisco's City Hall in 1979.
At night, people march with signs that say “Freitas' Law and Order= Racism,” “Chota fuera de nuestro barrio,” “Las Callles son de pueblo.” Two police stand beside a cop car while a policeman sits in the driver’s seat. Other signs read: “The problem is racism not youth,” “Stop police terror,” and “Police and politicians get out of the mission.” "Freitas' Law" is likely a partial reference to Joseph Freitas who was San Francisco's District Attorney at the time.
During the day, a crowd gathers outside of San Francisco's City Hall. A pink low rider is parked across the street. Policemen stand on steps near the crowd. People are chatting. Low riders, including the pink one, drive in front of City Hall. A black man, perhaps a journalist, writes in a notepad as another man speaks.
