On this day in 2007, Danish police evicted and destroyed Ungdomshuset, a world-famous social center that had served the autonomous and anarchist movements and the punk and squatter subcultures along with other rebel artistic and political communities for decades. Originally a bastion of the Danish labor movement, this building was the place where International Women's Day was proposed in 1910.
