Mildred Howard Day and Ed Roberts Campus opening

Mildred Howard, John Moore, and Howard's daughter Timiza Joseph at Berkeley City Hall
On Tuesday, March 29th, the city of Berkeley honored artist and activist Mildred Howard with a proclamation declaring March 29th to be Mildred Howard Day.

Donald Farnsworth was on hand at City Hall and took these pictures commemorating the occasion:

A very well-attended opening
