Berkeley remembers Free Speech Movement’s 30 year mark
Berkeley marks 30 years since the Free Speech Movement began with a sit in on Dec 2 1964 at Sproul Hall. Michael Rossman and Mario Savio led arrests and speeches as Joan Baez sang We Shall Overcome. The campus later lifted the ban on politicking and a two day student strike followed. The event shaped decades of campus protests and civil rights activism on American colleges.
