1970

BERKELEY, Calif. – Students barricaded themselves inside buildings on University of California campuses to protest a 32 percent increase in student fees and budget cuts that have led to slashed programs and lost jobs.

Demonstrators at UC Berkeley occupied Wheeler Hall on Friday and hung a sign from a window that read "32 Percent Hike, 900 layoffs," with the word "Class" crossed out in red. A group of students also rallied outside the building.

I work with a guy who was at Kent State during the massacre. He's in one of the pictures, which caused him to get interrogated by the FBI.

As these things seem to go, the stories he tells are different than the recorded events. I was in awe for some reason.

And round and round we go.
