A bite of Telegraph Avenue history
Telegraph Avenue took its name from a telegraph line strung between Oakland and Sacramento, and the street has been Berkeley's front hall ever since. In 1964 a student sat in a police car on Telegraph for 32 hours while classmates surrounded it, and the Free Speech Movement began.
Five years later, neighbors turned a cleared lot on Dwight Way into People's Park. A mile south, the Lorin District still carries its first life as a railroad town that voted to join Berkeley in 1892. Dentistry has a root here, too.
Berkeley's first Black dentist, William R. Pittman, opened his practice in 1931 at 2930 Grove Street, now Martin Luther King Jr. Way, and cared for patients for more than 44 years. The South Branch library at 1901 Russell Street now carries the name of his wife, civil rights leader Tarea Hall Pittman. Our office at 2640 Telegraph Avenue sits in the middle of that history, a few blocks from Dwight Way, serving families from Southside, Elmwood, and the Lorin District.
