It was Fifty Years Ago Today-The Beatnik Riot in Washington Square Park 1961

Three links below on the Beatnik Riot. One is an NPR story which aired this morning and the other is a link to Dan Drasin's documentary of that historical event. The third is a wiki link on biographical info on Izzy Young, the former owner of the Folklore Center and a central figure is this story.
