Operation Abolition

I forgot to post this last week while I was working on my paper, but I found something I thought the class might find interesting. I don't know if you guys remember from the Berkeley in the Sixties movie that we watched segments of in class, but they mentioned a video created by HUAC called "Operation Abolition", which took the footage from some of the first 60s protests in Berkeley and said that they were the work of the Communist party. In the video they showed a clip of the film in which the student all stood up and sang the national anthem in solidarity with the students. Anyway, I found the entire video through Google videos and its actually a really interesting depiction of the HUAC-early student protest clash that started off the free speech movement. The video says its an hour long but after 45 minutes its actually just some cartoon (random I know).
