In the fall of 1964, a handful of college students at the University of California Berkeley, located in the heart of modern day silicon valley, began protesting for their right, to free speech. The protest quickly grew to the point where the powers that be, in an attempt to squelch the protest, made over 800 arrests in December of 1964. This only made things worse, as the number of protesters continued to swell. In early January, the powers that be reversed course, and gave in to the protester's demands. It was a watershed moment in political history, widely recognized as the birth of the "free speech movement".
