Now you remember from last week that we're in the

on a calendar as a timeline.  A lot of the

social confusion, violence, and cultural excitement

actually, of this era, of the late sixties,

is right there in the 1970s.  And this lecture's

actually trying to canvass some of the political

turmoil and its, its marriage to popular culture

in the early 1970s.  By way of context though,

let me start in the spring of 1970.  On April 30th--and

frankly, just focus on two weeks in 1970.  On April

30th, President Nixon announces the invasion of

Cambodia, escalation of the war in Southeast Asia in

general, and the need for one hundred and fifty

thousand more troops to find a lasting peace.

In response, the campus at Kent State in Ohio,

the ROTC building is set on fire.  The Ohio governor

dispatches National Guard to make sure that the campus

this attempt to keep the peace on Kent State

evaporates, when twenty-eight Guardsmen open

fire on Kent State students, killing four and wounding

being a day--five hundred colleges are shut down

across the country, or they're disrupted from

protests.  Our country, according to college

protestors, our country is now attacking us.  It makes

ten days--[student sneezes] bless you--ten days after

during a student protest, state and highway patrolmen

open fire with automatic weapons into dormitories. 

Allegations are that someone was sniping at them.  No

to that end.  They opened fire without any warning,

killed two students and wounded nine.  The scale of

national attention is not commensurate with what

in this case, state and highway patrolmen,

could kill our college students without anybody

also inexcusable, that if you kill the students,

it becomes a national catastrophe.  Meanwhile,

in New Haven, just about two blocks from here--well,

actually, all throughout New Haven--the Black Panther

Party and the FBI are at a standoff.  Black Panther

Party and fellow travelers had come to New Haven,

essentially to protest the murder trial of Bobby Seale,

who's accused of authorizing the murder of Alex Rackley,

people believed to have been an informant to the FBI. 

Fifteen thousand people descend upon the Green,

sort of anarchist hippies, called the Yippies,

by--led by Abbie Hoffman, fellow travel--travelers of

all sorts.  And there was a real fear that the city is

going to be collapsed into a race riot.  The university,

under the leadership of Kingman Brewster,

the president at the time, does something that people

never expected, and actually opened its doors to the

Black Panthers.  It created a mechanism,

it felt--Brewster felt, that would relieve some of the

pent-up anxiety and tension over what's happening around

the country and then locally.  Classes are

canceled; there's student strikes.  I think two or

three pipe bombs go off at Ingalls Rink.  It's a level

of chaos that you, that you are not familiar with. 

Kingman Brewster declares that he actually doubts--and

I'm paraphrasing here--whether a black person

can get a fair trial anywhere in America. 

calling for his resignation, for his outlandish

student unrest; it's a local story as well.  In this

spirit of what's going on in the country on the college

campuses, and the nation, the call for federal

troops--excuse me, for more military troops,

the invasion of Cambodia, you have an astonishing,

almost sort of a call and response by a lot of

cultural artists.  Most famous in this regard--well,

most famous to me at least, in this regard--is Marvin

Gaye.  Marvin Gaye, who had made a career at Motown by

piecing together and performing love songs,

branches out a year later in May of 1971 with something

really quite different.  So he's known for,

"Ain't No Mountain High Enough" excerpt plays.]

Listen, baby Ain't no mountain high Ain't no valley low

baby If you need me, call me No matter where you are

really quite--you know, they're actually important
