Mean Things Happening Video
BackBLACKFIRE performing "Mean Things Happening in this World" live at the South Central Farm. On June 13, 2006, police and swat teams from the LAPD forcibly removed those trying to save a large urban farm in South Central Los Angeles. In its place will be erected a Wal-Mart warehouse. The 350 families working this land since 1992 lost their sustainability, a place where children could play and be safe, a hopeful and peaceful environment, and the promise from the city of Los Angeles that corporate greed would never trump positive social cognitivism. This video embodies my time spent on the farm both before and after its destruction. Thanks to Daryl Hannah who originally showed me this wonderful place.
