The film that we watched in class on Tues on the Free Speech Movement was really moving. I have grown up near Berkeley and have spent a lot of time there. It is a beautiful city filled with a great history.

My favorite part of the film was when students were locked out of Sproul Hall, but they were so determined to protest that they climbed up on ropes to get into the second story windows. Another great part of the film was when students surrounded the police car and gave speeches standing on top of it.

After searching the web I found a really awesome site at http://www.fsm-a.org/ that has great links, photos, speeches, interviews, bibliographies, and other writings all connected to the Free Speech Movement.
