Bay Current

It was 52 years ago that a group of Native American's - at first only a few dozen but eventually more than 600 - occupied Alcatraz Island, from 1969 to 1971.  The U.S. has closed the notorious prison and was trying to offload the land.  This violated an 1868 treaty which returned unused federal lands to Indigenous People's.  It set up an historic occupation, which reverberates to this day.

Hosted by Matt Pitman, with guests including: Secretary of the Interior Deb Haaland.

We went roller skating!  The last remaining roller skating rink - like full-time, dedicated roller skating in the Bay Area - is closing.  Last week, KCBS Radio's Edie Frederick wrote about The Golden Skate in San Ramon, which will be turning off the disco ball and closing its doors next year.  So naturally, Matt Pitman and Edie spent an afternoon at The Golden Skate for an unexpected, amazing blast from the past.
