The Free Speech Movement: Reflections on Berkeley in the 1960s, edited by Robert Cohen (TPB, 2002, 618 pages, $3.50)
This collection of scholarly articles and personal memoirs tell the story.
"Beginning in 1969, the Berkeley campus of the U. of C. chose to revamp the traditional graduation exercises. The reason for the change attested to the continuing impact of student activism unleashed by the FSM of 1964. The director of public ceremonies, a faculty member, summed up the problem in a memo to the chancellor: "Before this year, the campus accepted our choice of 'representative' student speakers. From now on, we are in trouble."
"In the 1960s, first on the Berkeley campus and then nationally and internationally, students tested the limits of permissible dissent, challenged the conventional wisdom in unprecedented ways, and insisted on participating as active agents in the shaping of history."
Look for it on the new non-fiction table. (Available 8/16)
