So to Speak podcast: Berkeley then and now
Nowhere have the campus free speech debates been as intense as at the University of California, Berkeley — the home of the Free Speech Movement.
Violent protests against one speaker. Hundreds of thousands of dollars in security costs to protect another. Speaking invitations extended and then (maybe?) rescinded. And that’s just this year.
On this episode of So to Speak: The Free Speech Podcast, we revisit the events surrounding the 1964 Berkeley Free Speech Movement to see if the university’s storied past can teach us anything about today’s debates.
