"Here is the first biography of Mario Savio, the brilliant leader of Berkeley's Free Speech Movement, the largest and most disruptive student rebellion in American history. Savio risked his life to register black voters in Mississippi in the Freedom Summer of 1964 and did more than anyone to bring daring forms of non-violent protest from the civil rights movement to the struggle for free speech and academic freedom on American campuses. Drawing upon previously unavailable Savio papers, as well as oral histories from friends and fellow movement leaders, Freedom's Orator illuminates Mario's egalitarian leadership style, his remarkable eloquence, and the many ways he embodied the youthful idealism of the 1960s. The book also narrates, for the first time, his second phase of activism against "Reaganite Imperialism" in Central America and the corporatization of higher education. Including a generous selection of Savio's speeches, Freedom's Orator speaks with special relevance to a new generation of activists and to all who cherish the '60s and democratic ideals for which Savio fought so selflessly."--Publisher's description.… (altro)

It was Mario Savio got me out her [to Berkeley]. I saw Mario on top of the [police] car in Sproul Plaza and said "great google-bee I'm outta here." I drove across the country. I wanted to go somewhere where it looked like youth knew what time it was. Every other place, they were so afraid. Out here, it was happening.___Blues singer Taj Mahal.
"I am dreaming, and I want to do good. For the good you do is never lost. Not even in dreams."___Pedro Caiderón de la Barca; Mario Savio inscribed these words inside J.L. Austin's Sense and Sensibilia, which he carried in his pocket during the Free Speech Movement.
