Savio risked his life to register black voters in Mississippi in the Freedom Summer of 1964 and did more than anyone to bring daring forms of non-violent protest from the civil rights movement to the struggle for free speech and academic freedom on American campuses. Drawing upon previously unavailable Savio papers, as well as oral histories from friends and fellow movement leaders, Freedom's Orator illuminates Mario's egalitarian leadership style, his remarkable eloquence, and the many ways he embodied the youthful idealism of the 1960s. The book also narrates, for the first time, his second phase of activism against "Reaganite Imperialism" in Central America and the corporatization of higher education. Including a generous selection of Savio's speeches, Freedom's Orator speaks with special relevance to a new generation of activists and to all who cherish the '60s and democratic ideals for which Savio fought so selflessly."--Publisher's description. 606 $aPolitical activists$zCalifornia$vBiography 606 $aStudent movements$zCalifornia$zBerkeley$xHistory 606 $aCollege students$xPolitical activity$zCalifornia$zBerkeley$xHistory 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aPolitical activists 615 0$aStudent movements$xHistory. 615 0$aCollege students$xPolitical activity$xHistory. 676 $a378.1/9810979467 B 676 $aB 700 $aCohen$b Robert$f1955 May 21-$0947454 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910460234003321 996 $aFreedom's orator$92265755 997 $aUNINA
