I remember it well, I was standing right up against the barricades when the news reporters were broadcasting from the upstairs porch at the corner house when all of a sudden the barricade came flying and were pushed in our faces. Yes, Mayor Lindsay thought he was doing everyone a favor by having us all come together, that didn't work very well! As a matter of fact, I went out with a classmate that lived across the street from the school's super and the super was the one that gave the parent's the keys to lock everyone out and the parents locked themselves in the building. Yes, back in the day...it was kind of exciting! LOL!! My last year was my 9th year at John Wilson (1971), went two months to Canarsie High & then my dad's job transferred and we moved out to NJ...Wonder how they're all doing over there now???
