In 1965, when administration in the University was shifted around a new regulation came out that allowed students, during a restricted time frame on specific days, to speak their minds and engage in political conversations in a calm, mature manner. This event caught the eye attention of the public and Berkeley became widely recognized as the site of the most intense pro civil rights university in the nation. Still today, the activism of these students from over 50 years ago is remembered at the “Free Speech Café” attached to the main undergraduate library. 

在1965年,當校方當局改組時產生了新的規定, 讓學生在限制的時段和在特定的日子去以冷靜成熟的態度去說出他們的想法和從事政治對話. 這件事獲得公眾的注目也使得柏克萊被廣泛的認為是美國最支持公民權的大學. 直到今日,這個五十年以前的學生運動仍被紀念在附屬在大學部總圖書館的 “言論自由咖啡屋”.

Inside the café, you’ll find more than just students working away diligently on their computers but you’ll also note that every table in the café has a copy of a newspaper article written about the Free Speech Movement full of pictures and large bold slogans and reminders of just how important and influential this movement was to the feelings, attitudes and mentality of all Berkeley students. 

在這咖啡屋裡, 你會不只發現學生們在他們的電腦前努力工作, 也會注意到咖啡屋裡每一張桌子上都有記載關於這個言論自由運動的報紙文章, 上面滿是照片和粗體的標題和令人回憶的東西,說明這個活動如何的重要以及影響所有柏克萊學生的感受,態度與思維.
