Berkeley 40th Ann. Free Speech Movement- Howard Dean, Molly Ivins etc.

by ucb
It is the 40th anniversary of the peak of the Free Speech Movement, when the administration ordered students pamphleting on Sproul plaza to be arrested, Jack Weinberg was placed in a police car, and it was then surrounded by thousands of students, and Mario Savio gave his famous speech
Here is a list of events this week memorializing this anniversary.

Howard Dean will be on Sproul at noon Friday. Stay out of the way of the Deaniacs. A police car will be driven onto the plaza for added realism for the crowd to surround.
