Seymour Hersh: Mario Savio Memorial Lecture

Abstract: One of America's premier investigative journalists, Seymour Hersh
shocked the world with his expose of the military's treatment of
prisoners at Abu Ghraib. His revelation of the My Lai massacre and
its cover-up during the Vietnam War won the Pulitzer Prize for
international reporting. He writes regulary for The New Yorker on
military and security matters and is the author of many books. The
9th Annual Mario Savio Memorial Lecture & Young Activist Award is
presented annually to honor the memory of Mario Savio (1942-1996),
spokesperson for Berkeley's Free Speech Movement of 1964, and the
spirit of moral courage and vision which he and countless other
activists of his generation exemplified; to promote the ideals and
values he struggled to advance throughout his life; and recognize and
encourage young activists to build a more humane and just society.
