  • Selected Chronology of Political Protests and Events in Lawrence
    SELECTED CHRONOLOGY OF POLITICAL PROTESTS AND EVENTS IN LAWRENCE 1960-1973 By Clark H. Coan January 1, 2001 LAV1tRE ~\JCE~ ~')lJ~3lj(~ ~~JGR§~~Frlt 707 Vf~ f·1~J1()NT .STFie~:T LA1JVi~f:NCE! i(At.. lSAG GG044 INTRODUCTION Civil Rights & Black Power Movements. Lawrence, the Free State or anti-slavery capital of Kansas during Bleeding Kansas, was dubbed the "Cradle of Liberty" by Abraham Lincoln. Partly due to this reputation, a vibrant Black community developed in the town in the years following the Civil War. White Lawrencians were fairly tolerant of Black people during this period, though three Black men were lynched from the Kaw River Bridge in 1882 during an economic depression in Lawrence. When the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in 1894 that "separate but equal" was constitutional, racial attitudes hardened. Gradually Jim Crow segregation was instituted in the former bastion of freedom with many facilities becoming segregated around the time Black Poet Laureate Langston Hughes lived in the dty-asa child. Then in the 1920s a Ku Klux Klan rally with a burning cross was attended by 2,000 hooded participants near Centennial Park. Racial discrimination subsequently became rampant and segregation solidified. Change was in the air after World "vV ar II. The Lawrence League for the Practice of Democracy (LLPD) formed in 1945 and was in the vanguard of Post-war efforts to end racial segregation and discrimination. This was a bi-racial group composed of many KU faculty and Lawrence residents. A chapter of Congress on Racial Equality (CORE) formed in Lawrence in 1947 and on April 15 of the following year, 25 members held a sit-in at Brick's Cafe to force it to serve everyone equally.

  • Spring 1965 an Analytic and Autobiographical Account (2008)
    one Spring 1965 An Analytic and Autobiographical Account (2008) in january 1965, in the wake of the turbulent Free Speech Movement on the Berkeley campus and the demise of its chancellor, Edward Strong, the new acting chancellor, Martin Meyerson, asked me to join his staff as a special assistant in the area of student political activity. This was the hottest seat in the chancellor’s offi ce at that moment, given the political fragility of the campus. I served eight months in that capacity until a new chancellor, Roger Heyns, was appointed and I took a scheduled sabbatical leave. Those months were a tense and uncertain period that resulted in an unsteady but palpable restoration of authority on the Berkeley campus and a few steps toward campus “normalcy.” They also constituted a period of rapid and mandatory political learning on my part and one of the most demanding seasons of my life. Over the years many colleagues have asked me to write about this important transitional period, both because it has received less attention than the historic Free Speech Movement days of late 1964 and because I had an “insider’s” point of view; now, in 2008, I have fi nally acceded to those requests. I have returned to the archives of the chancellor’s offi ce, to accounts of the events in the press, and to my personal recollections. The staff of the Bancroft Library were very helpful in supplying materials relevant to the Meyerson administration from the fi les of the chancellor’s offi ce. I also benefi ted from the research assistance of Ziza Delgado and Catherine Shepard-Haier.

  • Free Speech at Berkeley:" University As Factory," an Argument From
    DOCUMENT RESUME E D 249 5V CS 504 705 AUTHOR Stoner, Mark R. TITLE Free Speech at Berkeley: "University as Factory," An ---- Argument from Analogy. PUB DATE No 84 N OTE 18p.; Paper presented at the Annual Meeting of the Speech Communication Association (70th, Chicago, IL, November 1-4,-1984). PUB TYPE Speeches/Conference Papers (150)-- Viewpoints (t0) *DRS PRICE 14701/PC01 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS *Activism;1 Civil Rights; *Discourse Analysis; Ethics; Evaluation Criteria; *Freedom of Speech; Higher Education; *Metaphors; *Persuasive Discourse; Speech Communication; *Student College Relationship; Student Rights IDENTIFIERS *Free Speech Movement; University of California Berkeley ABSTRACT Although many metaphorswere developed throughout the Free Speech Movement at the Berkeley campus of the University of California, the central metaphor of the movement was the university as a factory. The analogy was used to argue that trends in higher education were moving toward the dehumanisation of.students and was related to the national concern over lack of freedom by many to exercise their constitutionally mandated civil rights. Students argued that university involvement with industry was mercenary and that students were used, like raw materials, to be molded into Jprefabrioeted cogs to fit easily into the machinery of government and industry. The movement, by its use of the structural analogy -- university as factory--chose an extremely powerful argumentative tool and a useful image that lent itself to quick and wide dissemination among members of the movement. The continued development of metaphors allowed the leadership to control the analogy to a fairly high degree. However, when compared to the standards of ethics proposed by Richard Weaver, the Free Speech Movement--because of certain unwarranted uses of, words as "free speech", its desire to eradicate hierarchical distinctions at the university, and its failure to recognise the constraints placed upon the university--must be judged as ethically suspect with regard to rhetoric.

  • E Pluribus Unum: the Berkeley Free Speech Movement of 1964 Madeleine Riskin-Kutz
    E pluribus unum: The Berkeley Free Speech Movement of 1964 Madeleine Riskin-Kutz Free Speech Movement march through Sather Gate, Mona Hutchin on the extreme right (marchers’ perspective) and Mario Savio on the extreme left. From Warshaw p.56, photo credit: Ron Enfield, Nov. 20, 1964 Madeleine R-K, E pluribus unum, cont. During the academic year of 1964-65, a political movement took place at the University of California (UC), Berkeley bringing together students and faculty from across the political spectrum — from communists to campaigners for right-wing Republican presidential candidate Barry Goldwater. Members of the movement united in their demand for free speech on campus and specifically, to be allowed to set up tables on campus to campaign for political causes. Their movement took place through demonstrations and sit-ins, ultimately achieving success in December 1964, when the academic senate voted unanimously to approve a resolution that there would henceforth be no restrictions on the content of speech or political advocacy on campus, except in regard to time, place and manner. Histories of the Free Speech Movement (FSM) have represented it as left wing and have therefore overlooked one of its essential features: it was a broad coalition operating largely by consensus among people with widely differing political views. By restoring the center-to-right wing side of the history of the FSM, we can first of all recognize this broad coalition’s existence, then also understand it was possible because of a form of universalism among students. A universal principle united the members of the Free Speech Movement.

NalZe 27Jz JI I(itr. ~ .on a7zr;t S, "8 alZ ch ,t 2t8"e,. To Nancy, Dope, Color TV, and Violent Revolution! JERRY RUBIN is the leader of 850 million Yippies. In a previous life Jerry was a sports reporter and a straight college student. He dropped out, visited Cuba and moved to Berkeley where he became known as the P. T. Barnum of the revolution, organizing spectacular events such as marathon Vietnam Day marches, teach-ins, International Days of Protest. Jerry lived for three years near the University of California working as an Outside Agitator to destroy the university. He ran for Mayor of Berkeley and came within one heart attack of winning in a four-man race. Jerry moved to New York in October 1967 and became Project Director of the March on the Pentagon. He appeared before "witch-hunt" committees of Congress dressed as an American Revolutionary War soldier, a bare-chested, armed guerrilla and Santa Claus. With Abbie Hoffman, Jerry created the Yippies as a fusion between the hippies and the New Left, and helped mJ>f>ilize the demonstrations during the Democratic National Convention in Chicago in August 1968. The U.S. Government indicted Jerry and seven other revolutionaries for conspiracy to destroy the Democratic Convention, resulting in "The Conspiracy," perhaps the most important political trial in the history of the country. Jerry wants to hear your reactions to this book.
