Hayakawa Press Conference

About This Item

President S.I. Hayakawa makes an official announcement that the emergency measures he imposed at SF State College to deal with the strike there on January 6th 1969 are rescinded, qualifying his statement with a reminder that: “Freedom of speech does not mean freedom to incite riot.” Ends with Dr Hawkins of the AFT expressing skepticism about Hayakawa’s claim that he isn’t currently interested in entering politics, suggesting he’s using the high profile student unrest at SF State as a platform to enter into politics.
