Taking Part:FSM and the Legacy of Social Protest
April 13-14, 2001
Sibley Auditorium, Bechtel Engineering Center
Bettina Aptheker Jack Weinberg Steve Weissman "The
Free Speech Movement was politically the first and most important white
student demonstration of the 1960s" (Breines, 1982: 23). This much is well
known. What has never been fully appreciated is the extent of the links
between Freedom Summer and the Free Speech Movement. It is impossible to
know whether the Free Speech Movement would have occurred in the absence
of Freedom Summer. What is certain is that for most of the leaders of the
Berkeley revolt, the movement was seen as an extension of the civil rights
struggle and the Summer Project in particular. The tactical, ideological,
and personnel imprint of Freedom Summer was everywhere evident in the events
at Berkeley. A review of those events makes the extent of that imprint
clear. -- Doug
McAdam, Freedom Summer, 1988: 162.
