American Nazis clash with students at San Francisco State (KPIX)

About This Item

KPIX-TV news footage from March 10, 1975 with reporter Al Dale featuring scenes from San Francisco State's campus, where students disrupt a class called "Issues and Advocacy," that was to include an address by American Nazi leader Alan Vincent. Includes: views of Professors Hank McGuckin and Ted Keller talking to reporters about freedom of speech; views of Alan Vincent; views of students chanting in a classroom, following the Nazis down a corridor in the Humanities Building and scuffling outside, before the Nazis attack a man using a fire extinguisher and head off in a van along 19th Avenue. Ends with voice-over from Bates, which was not added to the moving images in order to preserve ambient sounds from the action. The same story can be viewed in our KRON Collection, offering different shots and coverage. Opening graphic designed by Carrie Hawks.

Wow, that footage is intense. It's a stark reminder of how long these issues have been around. It makes me think of my own college days and the similar protests I witnessed. I recently read an essay on Black Lives Matter at https://papersowl.com/examples/black-lives-matter/ that really resonated with me. It made me reflect on how these protests, whether back then with the American Nazis or today with BLM, are crucial for pushing society forward. It shows how these struggles are ongoing and so important for our society.
