Mario Savio and the 60's Free Speech Movement
How the Radical Movement Began

New York CIty, June 9, 2005

The June Anarchist Forum

On Thursday, June 9, at 7:30pm, the Libertarian Book Club's Anarchist
Forum will present NYU scholar Robert Cohen speaking on Mario Savio and the
60’s Free Speech Movement. Cohen has edited a book on that remarkable
period in Berkeley, California which sparked the transforming times in the
60s and 70s, when civil rights, anti-war actions, and radical change became
the center of American political life. Cohen’s biography of Mario Savio,
the hero of the Free Speech Movement, will be published soon and reveal
much about Savio that had until now been hidden. After Cohen speaks there
will be an open discussion session, when questions can be answered and
memories shared.

The event will take place at the New SPACE in the Fusion Arts Museum
57 Stanton Street, Manhattan, one block south of the 2nd Ave-Houston St. F
and V subway stop.

There is no set fee for the presentation, but a contribution to aid
the LBC is suggested. If you have questions, contact the LBC /Anarchist
