The 15th annual Mario Savio Memorial Lecture & Young Activist Award will present Robert Reich, Chancellor's Professor of Public Policy at the Goldman School of Public Policy, UC Berkeley, speaking on Class Warfare in America.

The Memorial lecture honors the memory of the late Mario Savio, a spokesperson for Berkeley's Free Speech Movement (1964), and the spirit of moral courage and vision which he and countless other activists of his generation exemplified. The evening includes a presentation of the Mario Savio Young Activist Award, which recognizes young people engaged in the struggle to build a more humane and just society. It is co-sponsored by the UC Berkeley Library, the Goldman School of Public Policy, the Free Speech Movement Cafe and the Graduate Assembly.

I was going to attend this, but I had to work.

Thanks for the info.

When this his lecture was announced by the Savio Foundation they stated it was supposed to go about an hour. Maybe things changed given so many on campus wanted to attend Reich's address. The Foundation usually has its annual program "inside" the student center, so maybe conditions may have been less than ideal for an outside hour-long lecture in the evening's darkness. It can get pretty cold in Berkeley at night with the dampness coming in off the bay.

I don't know if you are aware but every recent speech by Robert Reich has been a sellout in the Bay area weeks in advance.

Perhaps he also gave a longer talk inside the Student Center.

was great to hear.
