	Mario Savio - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Mario Savio (December 8, 1942 - November 6, 1996) was an American political activist.
		Savio rose to prominence as a leader of Berkeley's Free Speech Movement, delivering a fiery speech in Sproul Plaza on December 2, 1964.

		Mario's conversational speaking method-which, by taking the audience through his own experiences, his own logic, and his own feelings ("Can you believe that?"), made thousands feel like they were also part of the process-conveyed that his experience and feelings were just more intense versions of theirs.

	[11-11-96] Jonah Raskin, Mario Savio -- The Death of a Radical
		Mario Savio, unlike other radical activists of the 1960s, was a shy man, wary of the media and fully aware of the dangers of celebrity.
		Savio, a leader of the Free Speech Movement (FSM) at the University of California, Berkeley, in 1964, wasn't the only radical from that era teaching at the college, but no one was more publicly identified with the 1960s, and no one carried on the tradition of protest into the 1990s with more vigor.
		Although I read about Mario Savio and the FSM when I was a student and protestor at Columbia in New York City in the mid 1960s, I did not meet him until he joined the faculty at Sonoma State.

	04.29.98 - UC Berkeley to honor Mario Savio, Free Speech Movement with library gift, café
		BERKELEY -- Thirty-three years after Mario Savio mounted the roof of a police car to defend free speech at the University of California, Berkeley, the campus is honoring his name and the movement he started with a much-needed endowment for books, a University Library café, and a digitized archive at the Bancroft Library.
		Savio raised a family after he left campus, and while shying from the limelight, remained firm to principles of activism and social justice, speaking out on behalf of a variety of causes up until his death in 1996.
		Savio articulated with eloquence a reason for confronting social ills, Chancellor Berdahl said, and he brought to Berkeley a conviction that the campus was connected to the rest of the world, that an education was acquired both inside and outside the classroom.

	Jazz/Jerry Jazz Musician/Free Speech Movement historian Robert Cohen interview.
		Well, you had students like Mario Savio, the leader of the Free Speech Movement, who had just come back from the south where they helped register fls to vote, and he was not necessarily in the mood to have someone come along and tell him he couldn't promote political advocacy on campus.
		Mario Savio, for example, participated in the first demonstration involving civil disobedience at Berkeley in the spring of 1964 -- before the fall Free Speech Movement -- because he was sympathetic to the Movement, but also because he wanted to impress his girlfriend.
		Savio was someone just coming into his own, studying philosophy and physics and sciences, in the process of trying to figure out what made the world work and sorting out his feelings about it.

	Mario Savio and the Free Speech Movement
		Savio's rise to power, if that is an appropriate way to express it, is not easy to explain.
		He did have the courage of his convictions, the willingness to confront the issues forcefully and directly, and the intellectual ability to grapple with the issues that were at hand.
		Some say it was Savio's aggressive activism combined with a prudent sense of good judgment and timing which gave him the uncanny ability to decide what course of action was appropriate or what type to appeal to make to the crowds.

	Mario Savio, the FBI and COINTELPRO
		The FBI trailed Mario Savio for more than a decade after he led the 1964 Free Speech Movement at the University of California at Berkeley, and bureau officials plotted to "neutralize" him politically -- even though there was no evidence he broke any federal law, according to FBI records obtained by The Chronicle.
		Edgar Hoover's FBI targeted Savio because he was the nation's first prominent student leader of the '60s, and top FBI officials feared protests would spread from Berkeley to other schools, the records show.
		The bureau took these actions against Savio even after San Francisco FBI agents repeatedly told bureau headquarters that he was not connected with, or influenced by, any subversive political group or foreign power.

		Given the attack on free speech in this nation, it is appropriate to remember Mario, to bring him and his example to the attention of younger activists, and to share the thoughts other comrades in the FSM had on the occasion of Mario’s unfortunate death.
		Mario has removed his shoes so as not to damage the paint.
		During a panel discussion, Mario warned that the country is "moving in a direction that one could call creeping barbarism." His pessimism ran deep, far deeper than concern over the rightward drift of American politics.
