Sept. 8, 1975 Stanislaus River rally at State Capitol

The first major rally at the State Capitol to save the Stanislaus in September 1975, just before wild river legislation introduced in early 1976. Here, a skit educating the crowd about water politics, with ARTA guides Elizabeth Black, playing the River, and Sparky Kramer playing the dam-building Army Corp. Young folks who loved the river and legislative aids on lunch break, recognized by their different attire.
