60th Anniversary of Free Speech Movement Celebrated at Berkeley

Chancellor Lyons published a commemorative blog post on the 60th anniversary of the Free Speech Movement at Cal.

The demonstrations that ensued would lead UC Berkeley administrators to guarantee the right to political activities on campus. It became a watershed moment for civil liberties in the 1960s, with the protests that began here going on to influence similar fights for civil rights throughout the decade and beyond.
