Abstract:

Unbound, edited transcripts of interviews with six participants in planning and successfully completing Arguello Park, 7th Avenue, between Anza and Geary Streets in the Richmond District of San Francisco, a park which stands as the result of community activists working with the San Francisco American Friends Service-originated Youth for Service agency in the period from 1960-1965. With these, related correspondence and supplementary material, including correspondence with the City of San Francisco, planning documents, fund-raising appeals, and assorted newsletters from Youth for Service.
