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 into and perspective on 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.Political activistsUnited StatesBiographyCivil rights workersUnited StatesBiographyStudent movementsCaliforniaBerkeleyHistory1960s america.20th century american history.american activism.american activist.american history.berkeley free speech movement.campus administration.campus protest.civil rights movement.counterculture movement.free speech.influential speeches.mario savio.mass sit ins.nonviolent civil disobedience.nonviolent protest.political advocacy.political protest.protest.student activists.student occupations.student rebellion.student strike.united states of america.university of california berkeley.Political activistsCivil rights workersStudent movementsHistory.378.1/981092Cohen RobertHayden TomReich RobertSavio Lynne HollanderMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910786606303321The essential Mario Savio3677172UNINA
