Inner Prisms

“December 2nd-3rd marks the anniversary of the Berkeley Free Speech Movement (FSM) occupation of Sproul Hall in 1964. Nearly 800 students took over the administration building at Cal demanding an end to campus restrictions on political expression and advocacy. The mass arrests there led to a massive strike and ended in victory. These events culminated months of protest that electrified students across the world. The steps of Sproul Hall were officially named the Savio Steps after Mario Savio, eloquent FSM leader, died in 1996. A couple of weeks ago, Occupy UC Berkeley protesters were brutally attacked on these very steps, and the  ramifications of that, coupled with the pepper spray at Davis, has helped fuel a new era of student protest.

On the radio this week we’ll commemorate this FSM anniversary by hearing the sounds of protest from 1964, including Mario Savio’s famous speech calling his fellow students to put their bodies on the gears of the machine to win their freedom.”

“Culture of Protest” airs on Thursdays in the Fall from 6-7pm.

The signal was lost around noon on Saturday Nov. 5th. The station came back on the air at approximately 10:30am Sunday morning, Nov. 6th after Chief Engineer Aaron Read and Assistant Engineer Christina Min resolved an issue at the stations transmitter on broadcast peak. Throughout the interruption KCSB continued to stream live online at KCSB.org. Again, we apologize to our radio listeners for the interruption.

KCSB broadcast the first half hour of the teach-in (from 12:30 to 1pm) live on air, including the opening declaration of the purpose, Robinson and Wolff’s presentation on media and the question and answer session.
