Faced with a ban on political activity on-campus, students of the University of California at Berkley formed the Free Speech Movement in 1964, under the informal leadership of Mario Savio. In his famous speech on the steps of Sproul Hall, Savio spoke of the importance of civil protest against the powers that sought to limit human rights saying, "you've got to indicate to the people who run it, to the people who own it -- that unless you're free the machine will be prevented from working at all!"
