At the Adamant Coop Gallery

I was there as a guest of one of the most talented group of musicians of Steve’s band, WONDERLOVE! What an incredible time to be alive & experience the positive collective energy of ALL PEOPLE joining together in PEACE & LOVE ❣️ALL RACES, AGES, & SEXES grooving to the mighty messages of the time…. And I cannot understand how the f*ck we got here in 2024 from there??? This memory is still alive in my heart & I will continue to conduct my life based on the principle of PEACE & LOVE FOR ALL HUMANKIND! Stop all the BS - I am not distracted from the Divine Truth 😘

I was there with the US Park Police. What a disgrace what a nightmare. Nothing human and anything but kind.

Hello, I'm interested in licensing this amazing footage for a documentary I'm working on, would you be able to provide the best contact details to reach you?

Amazing historic document of so many places now unalterably changed.

Wow. This is all so familiar. Thank you.

Great job! Gives '74 something to shoot for, for next year.

What was the music used for this video? Lol

That was a really great road movie. Lol!

I’m not saying I’m glad it happened but …… 😂😂

A Blast from the Past. Freddie, you have a knack for finding joy and happiness in any little thing.

These people were so cut from the same cloth as myself... I know it! In 1969 myself and a few made 8mm movies to "Hip Death Godess" by Ultimate Spinach. We made it in a graveyard... I have never had the money to get it transferred!

You are tearing my Heart out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How can I meet these people???????? I just vever thought I would see anything remotely like this!!!!! I cannot express how much this means to me!

Did you hear it meow??

From your treasure trove of early work! This was fun to see!

This is wonderful! The music fits the mood of the visuals. What is the story behind the making of this??

I was there in 74 with a few other sailors from Ft. Myer. It was all good for most of the day. Everyone was enjoying themselves. I did notice a lot of drinking. As the day went on and after Ali did his speech, I noticed a change in the mood of the Blacks that were all around me. I told the other guys it was time to go. We got in a cab and headed back to the base. It turned out that I was right, because right after we left every white person became a target. We watched the violence on TV when we got in the barracks. I told everyone I knew not to go to this event in 1975 as I told them they were going to be attacked. It was even worse than in 1974. Human Kindness day was then forever cancelled as it was too violent.

Hello, I was wondering if you had any more Muhlenberg radio show records - My dad Eric Hoglund had a show called "Night Flight" in 1973

I was there in 74. I wandered down to the Mall to clear my head after taking law school exams. I saw the big crowd there and heard the music. I didn't know what was going on. I passed a police car and walked about 100 feet towards the LIncoln Memorial when a young black kid, bless him, came up to me and warned me. But it was too late. Four or five blacks in their early to mid teens shoved me to the ground, kicked me and stole my wallet and my grandfather's 18 karat gold retirement watch. The next day when I went to the Park Police to report the crime I was told it had been open day on whitey. But the worst thing was that, although the police strongly advised against it, people and the press minimized what had happened. Just a few incidents. So they had it again and there was twice as much violence against whites. Google "Human Kindness Day" and read. You'll notice that the Washington Post article details the increased level of violence but nowhere states that it was all blacks against whites. Love me I'm a liberal. I understand where the anger against whites came from. Blacks inhabiting slums only a few blocks from the splendor of the Capitol and the Congressional office buildings. But it doesn't justify the violence or the cover up. I really believe that there is much less violence and hateful behavior now than there was then. But certain people like to play the race card.

I remember hearing about this when I was a kid. Mobs of blacks attacking innocent whites. Lovely.

Did you get to visit WMUH

This is a good representation of the sixties.

I'm a fan of a band that most people have mistakingly forgotten.

Brilliant.

I was there. my cousin Amanda graduated that day. there are a lot of pretty girls in Mass.

I was back stage at this one. A classmate of mine was dating Chocolate from Grand Central Station and I was friends with Brute, Band and Show. This broke out in to a full on riot. The rioters turned over a Good Humor truck and started hurling debris.

I was there, I was only a teenager but this day May 10 1976 stick in my mind it was the one and only time I dropped a tab of acid thank god I made it through, but yes the violence was horrible, it was like all the rage that had built up for hundreds of years was released on white folks, it was a day of blood, but man the concert was awesome

sad day for humans,disgrace to dc....

look at mob and wave of people running.aftermath,no comment.not a very good outlook on life to be ''human''

I did not attend this event, but the Washington Post's account confirms that many violent incidents took place. (How does stabbing someone in the eye honor Steve Wonder?) It also made clear that the event had a covert agenda: to rally support for Barbara Sizemore, superintendent of the D.C. schools. The school board was in the midst of the interminable process of firing her. Did she think she could hold out until the next election? What's Frank Shaffer-Corona doing these days?

I am the photographer in the video , Ronald Dickey shooting for Compared to What?, I covered all 4 Human kindness events 1972 -1974 , Summer Hut and other concerts organized by Carol, Daryll and Gerald. They were all good people to work with.

I was there. Very violent

This video is not at all reflective of what this event devolved into. I was there. It started out cool enough, but there was a lot of violence and, sad to say, if you were white, you didn't have a chance. Girls had their blouses ripped open, were slapped and punched, and had their purses stolen. Guys had their wallets stolen, usually followed by a punch in the face. There were roving bands of black youths who kept running through the crowd, 20-30 at a time, and if you didn't run, you were trampled. There were stabbings, fires, vandalism, countless assaults. One guy was stabbed in the eye with an ice pick and lost his eye. It was terrifying. Stevie Wonder pleaded for calm and peace, but he was ignored by the troublemakers. I don't know why the guy who posted this video doesn't make clear how things really were, because he knows. There's not a lot posted about this event on the internet, but Google it and you'll see the truth from people who were there. thebuskersblog.typepad.com/the_buskers_blog/2005/05/human_kindness_.html

Very nice. Great use of a shadow image, too.
