Enjoyed seeing recently the documentary film "Berkeley in the Sixties" especially for its peaceful communitas, and sense of connected student community, and in a spirit of students learning about and exploring their first amendment rights in the context of studying at the University of Calfornia at Berkeley, from the perspective of nearly 30 years later. (Philosophy Professor John Searle is in this film).

Interesting to get to know too some of the students at the time, hear the music, see the political protests, learn about the conversation with the UC Berkeley administration, as well as to see a key writer of the film, Susan Griffin, interviewed in the film ...

Curious how MIT OCW-centric World University and School, planned for all 7,106 languages, can be a similar expression of people-to-people freedom of highest quality, and musical, teaching and learning speech - as a similar expression of nonviolence even - keeping in mind the political freedoms that were so central to 1960's protests and visions for a great society (and which have been important after the 70s).
