NOVEMBER 3, 2023 Let’s use West Park bandshell for democracy SCOOP STEVENS Groundcover contributor The West Park bandshell was built during the Great Depression and received funding from the Works Project Administration. It became part of the park in 1938 and has served as a focal point for community and charitable events. Now it needs to be converted into a political assembly platform and West Park needs to be renamed Democracy Park. America’s founding fathers established a constitutional plutocracy that gave “we the people” just enough democracy not to revolt. We are in a new age now that requires citizen participation. Converting the bandshell into a political assembly platform where people would learn how to be responsible citizens by hearing speeches, debates and discussions on public affairs would foster a democratic movement. People would be participants in democracy by exercising their First Amendment right to assemble peaceably and this would lead to genuine community development. The 1960s was a revolutionary era. There was a vibrant civil rights movement and a passionate anti-war movement. During this time many bands played at the bandshell including the Grateful Dead. These were the good old days for many, but we must stay up with the times by using the bandshell to help create a democratic movement.
