Background information: The riots referred to in the document were most likely those which occurred in the U District on August 13 and 14. After unsuccessfully trying to prevent and contain the violence for two nights, police "agreed to let the community try to handle the situation" with "scores of volunteers wearing 'peace' armbands" and "street monitors." The results were so successful that, "the Ave's self-pacification led to months of 'negotiations' among street people, merchants, residents, clergy, students, police, and city officials to reduce police harassment and establish a community center." The University Street Caucus was represented at these meetings by Jan Tissot, Bill Harrington, and Bob Shupe. (Crowley, Walt. Rites of Passage: A Memoir of the Sixties in Seattle.
