Savio risked his life to register black voters in Mississippi in the Freedom Summer of 1964 and did more than anyone to bring daring forms of non-violent protest from the civil rights movement to the struggle for free speech and academic freedom on American campuses. Drawing upon previously unavailable Savio papers, as well as oral histories from friends and fellow movement leaders, \u003cem\u003eFreedom's Orator\u003c\/em\u003e illuminates Mario's egalitarian leadership style, his remarkable eloquence, and the many ways he embodied the youthful idealism of the 1960s. The book also narrates, for the first time, his second phase of activism against \"Reaganite Imperialism\" in Central America and the corporatization of higher education. Including a generous selection of Savio's speeches, \u003cem\u003eFreedom's Orator\u003c\/em\u003e speaks with special relevance to a new\u003cbr\u003egeneration of activists and to all who cherish the '60s and democratic ideals for which Savio fought so selflessly.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRobert Cohen\u003c\/strong\u003e teaches social studies and history at New York University and chairs the department of Teaching and Learning in NYU's Steinhardt School of Education.
