Riots give way to slam dancing

Two days of concerts were held over the weekend in Tompkins Square Park, to mark the 20th anniversary of the famed riots between police and homeless squatters/activists.
In the photo above, a group of slam dancers were doing their thing as the group Giuda
performed.
The park's an almost unrecognizable place today, with picnics and baby showers being held where people once feared to tread.
And the battles today are mostly verbal, as we noted last week in Vets of Tompkins Square battle ready to fight again.
