Here in the bay area the seeds of a social revolution were germinating and they found Fertile Ground at uc berkeley with a campaign calledded the free speech movement. Many saw that as a precursor to much of the upheaval of the 1960s. And Bob Mackenzie brought us this report back in 2001. Reporter as the 1950s became the 60s, uc berkeley like other College Campuses was a quiet place where people expected to do more or less as they were told. But the times they were achanging. By the early 1960s this strip of sidewalk along bancroft area had become an area for politicking and fund raising. There were booths, signs and plaquered indicating civil rights and all types of causes. Then in september of 1964, an edith came down from a dean of students all this political activity was to stop. The school had no idea of the result it would bring. You think youre grown up. You dont understand why you cant do things, why you cant put out information the way you could in high school maybe.

We should expect no less of ourselves. Thank you. Reporter kerr was shaken to find out that many of the faculty backed the students. Some everyone stepped on the steps of sprawl hall and spoke on the cause. The protest quickly turned into a full scale rebellion. Students went on strike refusing to go to classes. Students who did go to class often found nothing there. The teachers had joined the strike. So had the folk singer baez. The University Made small concessions but by now students were in no mood for compromise. As Campus Police and city Police Became more visible. Confrontations turned uglier. When the university called a mass meeting to offer compromises the attempt badly backfired. Ladies and gentlemen, the meeting is now adjourned. This meeting is now adjourned.

Once law, this law will be an area where singing, the showing of movies, and interests may go on. Reporter kerr was humiliated. If he did nothing he would be seen as timid. If he used force against students he might be called brutal. He was out of concessions to offer. It was Pretty Amazing when 700 students went in, you woke up the next morning and there were headlines across the country. That started the student movement. Reporter before dawn, police cleared the hall. The event rallied americans, with some rooting for the students, others for the school. The regents played tough for a few days but ul ultimately you have to give in. You cant run a stool without teachers. Weve been said that weve been revolutionary. I think n a way thats true.

At the same time the place was dark. And the flashbulbs were going off. I had never seen, it practically lighted cal palace up. Reporter at last the beatles were really there up on the stage and not that you could hear them much. By this time the young women in the audience had been screaming for half an hour. They started fainting and they were picked up off the floor. It was, just thousands, thousands of girls my age. All excited and screaming. I honestly dont know if i heard much music. I screamed georges name over 50 times. And if you asked every girl, they all thought the guy they screamed at looked straight at them.
