Vietnam spurs the Birth of Mifflin Street Block Party: 1969
The Mifflin Street Block Party began in 1969 as a street dance to celebrate community spurred by demonstrations taking place all over the country in response to the Vietnam Conflict. It ended as a confrontation between students and police to show the independence of the ââ?¬Å?Mifflandââ?¬Â area and the student distaste of the war.
