Excerpt:
COINTELPRO (an acronym for Counter Intelligence Program) was a series of covert, and often illegal,[2] projects conducted by the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) aimed at surveilling, infiltrating, discrediting, and disrupting domestic political organizations.
COINTELPRO tactics included discrediting targets through psychological warfare; smearing individuals and groups using forged documents and by planting false reports in the media; harassment; wrongful imprisonment; and illegal violence, including assassination. Covert operations under COINTELPRO took place between 1956 and 1971; however, the FBI has used covert operations against domestic political groups since its inception.[3] The FBI's stated motivation at the time was "protecting national security, preventing violence, and maintaining the existing social and political order."[4]

History
The Berkley riots can be defined by three single, yet interrelated events: the civil rights movement, the Free Speech Movement, and the Vietnamese war protests in Berkeley, California.[1] The Berkeley riots were not the first demonstrations to be held in, and around the University of California Campus. Since before World War II, students had demonstrated at the university. In the 1930s, the students at Berkeley led massive demonstrations protesting the United States ending its disarmament policy and the approaching war.[2] Throughout the course of World War II, these demonstrations continued with the addition of strikes against fascism; however, they were largely symbolic in form.[2] This can be inferred as the student groups leading these demonstrations did not necessarily seek, nor did they expect their demonstrations to result in change. Nevertheless, this passive approach to demonstration changed in the 1950s at the height of the McCarthy era. From 1949 to 1950, students and teaching assistants at UC Berkeley rallied against the anti-communist loyalty oath that professors were forced to take at the university. Up until the Berkeley riots, these demonstrations were the largest student protests witnessed in the United States.[1] Considering the relatively high presence of demonstrations on the Berkeley campus in its history, and the fact that it had already been the site of the largest student demonstration in the United States, it provided a perfect site to nurture the Berkeley riots.

Barbara Bush Family Literacy Fellowships at TCALL
2011-2012 Barbara Bush Fellows are (left to right), Juana Vaquero, Mattyna Stephens, and Feyi Obamehinti.
About the Barbara Bush Fellowships
Barbara Bush Fellows originated at TCALL in 2007, and are funded by The Barbara Bush Texas Fund for Family Literacy. The Barbara Bush Fellows are doctoral students at Texas A&M University-College Station who are engaged in research, writing, and development of resources and presentations in topics relevant to the field of family literacy education
For purposes of this Fellowship, FAMILY LITERACY is defined as a multi-generational educational approach that includes at least three integrated components: adult literacy education for parent(s) or primary caregiver(s), pre-literacy or literacy instruction for their young children, and interactive literacy activities for the young children together with their parent(s) or primary caregiver(s). Many family literacy programs also include parenting education and home-based literacy activities. .
These generous fellowships consist of a one-year award, which may be used to offset the cost of travel expenses to conferences, dissertation research, and/or tuition, fees, and maintenance while a student is enrolled at Texas A&M University. During their fellowship year, students will have the opportunity to present their work at national family literacy conferences and publish their research in peer-reviewed journals.

"There is a time when the operation of the machine becomes so odious, makes you so sick at heart, that you can't take part; you can't even passively take part, and you've got to put your bodies upon the gears and upon the wheels, upon the levers, upon all the apparatus, and you've got to make it stop. And you've got to indicate to the people who run it, to the people who own it, that unless you're free, the machine will be prevented from working at all!"
"Savio's moral clarity, his eloquence, and his democratic style of leadership inspired thousands of fellow Berkeley students to protest university regulations which severely limited political speech and activity on campus. The non-violent campaign culminated in the largest mass arrest in American history, drew widespread faculty support, and resulted in a revision of university rules to permit political speech and organising. This significant advance for student freedom rapidly spread to countless other colleges and universities across the country." [Via stonecast, see here: http://www.savio.org/who_was_mario.html
