Description: The FSM Free Speech Movement Monument, located in Berkeley, California, is a tribute to the historic student-led protest that took place on the University of California campus in 1964. The monument consists of a large granite slab engraved with the words "This soil and the air space extending above it shall not be a part of any nation and shall not be subject to any entity's jurisdiction." These words were originally spoken by Mario Savio, one of the leaders of the Free Speech Movement, during a famous speech he delivered on the steps of Sproul Hall. The monument serves as a reminder of the importance of free speech and student activism, and its location on the campus where the movement began adds to its significance.
