Gallery. And prior to. That. It will. Give you a. Better way to embarrass the fire time magazine. Paris to move. The times they are a changed. In may nineteenth sixty eight a wave crest over the planet. The way for the actually began to swell earth in one hundred sixty five and then recede until a few years later in one thousand seventy five. The worlds youth rose up against the life that was being offered to the. Society politics culture refuted all the world that had been recreated after World War Two was moving too slow or do they want and use the size of when they wanted now the departure as a competent amid new affection and all this is just noise. Land. Last. In name not in sixty eight i was a student in a film school in paris students and occupied School Equipment was being taken out on the streets day and night to soup of the french recalling the events my view of that period is somewhat fragmented i found out families i didnt realize that i crossed through the battle of waterloo unawares over the barricades on the we get a second. Fifty years later we still have lots of questions between combat veterans memories and politically biased propaganda how should we know and the lies that turning point in history what is its legacy is much unofficial the phenomenon was a global one purse burning london south battle tokyo and elsewhere. There were so many uprising swarming the streets of big cities and its impossible to cite them all what i would like to understand is the tipping point. So here are some images and sounds the few pieces of the puzzle of a world changing in the mix of exhilaration and violence. If there were a single threat in connecting all those protest movements and would have to be the a moral war the worlds leading power was waging against the public district and country a war that would stretch over the entire decade. The us its a gone to war in vietnam to protect its own capital has interests and to protect the imperialist interests of the french for example. And at the same time the United States was riven by its own contradictions around race that it professed to be a country that was democratic and that was going to Southeast Asia to defend democracy and yet inside the United States the rights of africanamericans and many other minorities were deeply suppressed. I remember june one thousand nine hundred sixty four three Civil Rights Activists michael and reagan and james chaney i mean found dead their bodies riddled with bullets in the small town of philadelphia mississippi. The state refused to prosecute the alleged murderous klan members or the federal authorities have to intervene before they get a ten year sentence its. I mean obviously the value on black lives is something that we have to constantly be fighting for but weve come a long way i think in that space i do you know. I think about my parents you know my parents married it was against the law for them to marry my father was white my mothers black was against the law my father was a civil rights attorney they were trippin out of town by the klan by the police constantly. I remember the question threatening to burn our house down. Just because my father was working to desegregate schools to bring you know sanitation to black communities so there was a kind of. You know there was no safe space. My family is from alabama from the south my fathers from tennessee my mothers from virginia in the south black people were. Accommodating the concept of nonviolence for political purposes but not an every day life everyone knows the violence thats a potential in the races Southern State every family in those communities has weapons people know they have to defend their lives at the depletes are going to come and help in the sheriffs not going to come help them if the klan comes to you youre on your own. I was a College Student at the time in new york and this notion of black culture black pride black beauty his head exploding the black power was very distinctive because it came from the mississippi civil rights struggle which was very very. Courageous and the kind of activists who were engaged in that were to me and to many of my generation they were heroic because they were facing the most vicious racist state in the United States and a nonviolent struggle and he made a call for black power and so it was riveting it was extraordinary the whole country responded. Pay. Look in my folder. In the mid sixtys california simplex and this dream of some nice and music. From. U. C. Berkeley is one of the most prestigious universities new usa. And is also going many of the protest movements of the sixtys got their start. At the end of the summer students came back from mississippi who were in mississippi students who had been active in the Civil Rights Movement and are thought was that the Civil Rights Movement was going to continue to grow and build and we came back the University Administration issued a decree saying yes it was a violation of University Rules to engage in any kind of social or political activity on the campus and the origin of that almost certainly was conservative business groups in the bay area. Were telling the university we dont want the Berkeley Campus to become a base for mobilizing attacks on us you have to control the students they are the order of our side so that was where the Free Speech Movement came from. It was a movement that sought to establish the space of the university as one in which open discourse and critical discourse would be sheltered protected. Accepted and affirmed. So. And that included. Points of view that were critical of the administration that included points of view that were perhaps communist or socialist but there were many points of view that was very hard not just for the University Administration to take the for the state of california so it raised questions whats the role of state power in the state decide whats taught how its taught. The a small minority of beat makes radicals and filthy speech advocates have brought shame on a Great University campus has become a rallying point the communists in the center for Sexual Misconduct leaflets are so bad so contrary to our standards of Human Behavior that i couldnt possibly recycling to you here in this platform in detail Sexual Misconduct was bleak and the smell of marijuana was prevalent all over the entire building it began a year ago when the socalled free speech advocates who in truth have no appreciation for freedom were allowed to assault presumably the symbol of law and order a policeman on the campus and that was the moment when the ringleaders of them taking the step of the controlled out of. Ronald reagan emerged as the new leader of the republican right in california the very place where all the protests were going on became the basis of reagans ascendancy because he ran against all of that he ran against the student protesters. Against the rioters in watch against those who wanted to have open housing laws that would end discrimination and in neighborhoods raken opposed all of that and became the leader of the new right in america. And then. When the raising of the machine becomes sony and make just the forget me act but you cant take part you cant even tell me take part i never got to put your body to prime the gears in a prime no we all join the league so i only have the right and you got to make up stuff im going to do when the judge or the people managing the people who did that unless your. Loving mother didnt play a large yellow. Danes came up to me and they asked me to show my id and i said im sorry im back im not authorized to show you my id and then they and then they said they said ok then were going to have to arrest you and i was dragged to carry to the police car by the time i was in it there were people sitting in front and behind within a few minutes there were hundreds of people around the police car and it wasnt moving but the crowd was getting bigger and pretty soon there were two or three people on top of the police car talking i was in the police car for thirty two hours i just did not put any of my my photos. My fellows that i. Would have done so i did a story about a chance a weapon there. I remember Walking Around the Berkeley Campus while demonstrations are taking place or people just arguing with each other and thinking that it was going to leave whoever took part in it dissatisfied ever after with the ordinariness of life. Yes the ordinariness of life. Good. I think that racial inequality persists because the nation that has entire nations are built upon them theyre built on disparities and Racial Disparities and. That the wealth as we understand it in the west could not have existed without first their move a lot of native and Indigenous Peoples and then the in slave men of African Peoples that capitalism and antiblack racism go hand in hand and so to only fight one without fighting the other is i think a backdrop for failure. The watts riots los angeles oldest nine hundred sixty five despite the Civil Rights Act of one hundred sixty four the black community was so chafing on the constant discrimination a single spot was only took to blow everything sky high six days of violence thirty four dead the usa wakes up on the brink of civil war. Rock star and a Misguided Group are required to end up hard on the product. Comment i read. From now made from that many from them. Now. Dont reject. Him youre crying right. Onto your mouth i dont care about going to individual or group that are going on. What the sixtys did was to enable conservatives to say its the left thats coming after institutions there are siding with black revolutionaries in the street its or theyre throwing bombs building bombs they are the true radicals and we will make the appeal to the ordinary american who wants to hold on to what hes got he wants to protect his house his property his neighborhood his income and bank account and so there was a kind of popular. Isnt in defense of the middle class which almost sounds like a paradox but thats the basis always of american populism and. Inside the country the f. B. I. Had infiltrated the civil rights and student movements. Outside it cia was doing is up was to keep left in regime from time to time at an american countries like brazil for example. And. It. You. Know twelve million inhabitants now the largest city in america and brazils Financial Capital as well as being the countrys most country diverse metropolis. The far side of the world from one thousand nine hundred sixty four one of you but still out of the sound of mushing feet comes across freedom to the next twenty years.

In one hundred sixty five three thousand five hundred marines land the done that by nine hundred sixty seven there are nearly five hundred thousand american soldiers in vietnam. If bill. Thought there was from vietnam despite the freezing cold water the days passed peacefully on the show and right here i was on holiday with my parents in one hundred sixty five the generation getting blown up in englands face the music. English youth were not little politicised their frustrations were expressed different inputs battles between moans roccos on boston which for instance none in sixty four. The rockers dressed in black leather rode english motorcycles on and listen to fiftys rock sign up. The end of the monster in suits and clock as road schools and listen to emergency old an englishman groups like the who claim. There were two facets of the same old loach as british moves judges and teachers who didnt have a clue from the field such claims. London and or england in the sixtys was very much still the old establishment from prewar really and after the war most of the politicians and people in power wanted to just resume the old ways i think what changed everything in britain was the fact that my generation were better educated than our parents and consequently we didnt look to our parents as men to us anyway you couldnt both my parents left school at fourteen so we looked to the american be generation to american jazz musicians to french filmmakers to german philosophers i mean it was really like the. Whole generation looking around to see to find a better way of life you couldnt just carry on with the old english class system and the queen and the rest of it so there was a whole group of young people who were. Looking around its almost like a supermarket of ideas. In one hundred sixty five miles organized the group. Preaching american because its like and yes but.
