The East Bay was ground zero for a protest movement whose influence was felt for years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Chronicle\u2019s front page from Nov. 15, 2011, covers the dismantling of an encampment of hundreds of Occupy protesters outside Oakland City Hall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAbout 1,000 Occupy Oakland protesters returned Monday night to Frank Ogawa Plaza, 12 hours after police evicted the movement\u2019s tent city, and debated a range of reactions from re-establishing the encampment to refocusing on community organizing,\u201d the story read.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This was the second time the camp in downtown Oakland was cleared. The first time, at the end of October, campers who had been ousted marched in protests that turned violent, punctuated by Iraq War veteran Scott Olsen suffering a skull fracture when he was hit by what was believed to be a police tear gas canister.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The tents soon went back up near Mayor Jean Quan\u2019s office, leading to this day\u2019s eviction, which didn\u2019t last long.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe city reopened the newly cleared plaza outside City Hall around 5 p.m. and said protesters could gather there around the clock,\u201d the story read. \u201cHowever, police said they would prevent camping from now on, and as the night went on, there were no tents in evidence.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The protests, though, would follow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
