Portrait of Mario Savio

Occasion. Steps of Sproul Hall, December 2, 1964. Several thousand students are about to occupy the building in the Free Speech Movement sit-in; the university had banned on-campus political advocacy. Joan Baez is waiting to sing. Savio does not name Freedom Summer or the October police-car blockade.
