12016-04-11T08:40:59-07:00Courage of Convictions10plain2016-04-14T06:52:36-07:00Each time I write or present on some aspect of this era of student activism at the University, I am startled to rediscover how essential student resolve and action was to have the Speaker Ban law repealed. More than that, I am surprised how well the students seemed to know the significance of what they were doing as they made their plans for the lawsuit, organizing with each other, administrators, and faculty to bring about the confrontation. “Everything was carefully orchestrated, we knew we were participating in a political theater,” David Kiel told me, describing the organizing that went into Herbert Aptheker’s speech on March 6th, 1966.[1] Though Kiel’s memory references only one day in particular, as I return to other interviewees’ recollections, I hear a sense of self-importance--not of arrogance or conceit--but assuredness. For many students, getting involved in the protests was risky if they wished to enter the state’s legal and political worlds, as many would go on to do.
