Unfinished Acts, "The Oakland Rebellions"
June 16, 2009 - 7:48pm -- Anonymous Comrade (not verified)
The Oakland Rebellions
The Unfinished Acts Crew
After its debut at the San Francisco and New York City anarchist bookfairs, we're happy to offer up the
final run, all cleaned up and freshly dropped on the internet.

unfinished acts crew
From the introduction:
Unfinished Acts was written collectively by a group of anarchists who were
and still are actively present in the rebellion following Oscar Grant’s
execution -- a collective recounting and analysis of events
surrounding the shooting of an unarmed 22-year-old Black man in Oakland.
Oscar Grant III was executed by Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) police
officers during the first hours of 2009 on the platform of the Fruitvale
station. The following pages include a few short histories of
significant social movements to help contextualize the rebellions. This
history acts as intermissions for a documentary dramatization (but
factually correct!) of some of the events that unfolded in the streets
during the first month of 2009.
We have reconstructed the narrative and
dialogue from collective stories, personal experiences and videos of the
rebellions posted online. We conclude with our own analysis and lessons.
