A Lasting Impact on American Society. This class is about an hour, 20 minutes. All right. So today were going to talk about america during the First World War.

Caltrans has suspended the clearing of encampments because of the pandemic and Campbell Police say theyve responded to numerous Enforcement Actions over the years but they say this is a difficult problem to solve.
