The San Francisco Bay Area Television Archive has some choice footage from Berkeley back in the days when Berkeley was at war. There’s author and Merry Praskster Ken Kesey rapping at the Greek in May 1970, for example, and the riots that were erupting at that same time. And here’s the 1969 graduation ceremony where students donned gas masks under their mortar boards and the valedictorian used the occasion to denounce then-governor Ronald Reagan. Exciting times.
Too exciting.
