Hayakawa Press Conference

About This Item

A KQED News report from San Francisco State College featuring a press conference with President Hayakawa in which he discusses the Japanese American community, reflects upon 13 months in office and confirms he has no intention of running for the U.S. Senate. He feels that: "to dedicate oneself to the defense of academic freedom then, when you find yourself in a position to do so, is perhaps the most important thing an educator can do. Therefore I am not going to run for a seat in the United States Senate." He also touches upon the subject of political activism and the Black Studies Department.
