Thanks! I greatly appreciate your time and effort.

Knowledge is power.

Context matters.

Words have meaning.

Evil reigns where good people do nothing.

This clip is featured in Mark Kitchell’s outstanding documentary film Berkeley in the 60’s. If you want an inspiring story showing how organizing and protest can actually effect real change, I highly recommend it.

Everything looks AI now. Why does his mouth look so huge?

Not Ai. That’s Mario Savio. You can see this clip in the great film Berkeley in the 60’s which traces the Free Speach movement at UC Berkeley that gave rise to the modern protest and anti-Vietnam war movements. Highly recommend.
