Name: Kitty Reilly on Sep 7, 2009Comments: The Uhuru Flea Markets at Clark Park provide a vital life for the community. They are the best things happening in the area and why would anyone want to disrupt that and the income generating ability for so many in this time of economic crisis. It serves both ends of the economic equasion. We then get to shop there for great things at affordable prices.Flag

Name: Francina Girard on Sep 8, 2009Comments: I have vended at Clark Park once with Uhuru and it was a very positive event. Not only from the vender perspective but from a community perspective. I appreciate this event because I get to meet new people and help a group that is based for a great cause. As vendors we are given rules on how to respect the park and they are enforced.Flag

Name: Glenn Moyer on Sep 8, 2009Comments: The attempt to limit or prohibit diverse peoples from Clark Park has been continuous in the last decade. In the service of corporate gentrification, local associations like FOCP, have been falsely portrayed as, the voice of the people. They portray those outside of their leadership as dangerous outsiders destroying their community. Their confused anger is used by the local corporate power brokers manipulating them for purposes of forced gentrification. FOCP leaders are a secret society and not an open, transparent community association, which they claim to be.Flag

Name: Tahra Ellison on Sep 8, 2009Comments: This park represents unity and the authenticity of things that are handmade, and eco-friendly. What better way to help the enviroment and others, by recycling or upcycling items which can be bought and used again by someone else. This is a wonderful culture for Clarks Park, I visit everytime the flea markets there all the time. I absolutely love them!!!Flag
