and that was mary beth's message. some of the other student said, look, free speech is just something about power. people with power use that term to protect their own speech and to prevent others from using it. and mary beth said, no, you have it wrong, it's the opposite. in 1965 i was a 13 year old girl. and speak was the only power that i had. and across time, and this was the message of the book, people without power have used free speech to challenge their circumstances and to challenge their oppression, which is what she was doing, because until that time students didn't have any rights, not ones at the constitution recognized. so that's what i want to communicate to my students and others. the radical history and potential of free speech. >> i hadn't known that story about sydney being the instigator of the book. signe, john is such a great speaker, but this is literally how the book came into existence? what prompted you to reach out to him? can you tell us? >> well, i have been -- for almost 40 years. and i d

and mary beth tinker had a very pointed response which i will never forget. she said, listen, at my middle school in des moines there were students that had dads and uncles and brothers that were risking their lives in southeast asia. you don't think they were hurt by this not-nosed kid telling them that their loved ones were maybe going to die for a lie? of course they were. speech hurts. and that's precisely why we need to protect it. because it hurts there's always going to be the impulse to snap it down, but when you do it's actually the people at the bottom that are going to be hurt and i mean really hurt, i.e., censored and that was mary beth's other message. some of the students said, look, free speech is just something about power. people with power use that term to protect their own speech than to prevent others from using it and mary beth said you have it wrong, it's the opposite. in 1965 i was a 13-year-old girl and speech was the only power that i had. and across time and this was the real message of the book, people without power have used free s
