The Free Speech Movement in Berkeley, Calfiornia was pivotal in
shaping 1960s America. Led by Mario Savio and other young veterans
of the civil rights movement, student activists organized what was
to that point the most tumultuous student rebellion in American
history. Mass sit-ins, a nonviolent blockade around a police car,
occupations of the campus administration building, and a student
strike united thousands of students to champion the right of
students to free speech and unrestricted political advocacy on
campus.
This compendium of influential speeches and previously unknown
writings offers insight and perspective into the disruptive yet
nonviolent civil disobedience tactics used by Savio. "The Essential
Mario Savio" is the perfect introduction to an American icon and to
one of the most important social movements of the post-war period
in the United States.
