Academic Freedom For Iranian Students

KPIX-TV silent news footage from July 25th 1961 featuring a group of people inside the Iranian Consulate in San Francisco who seem to be waiting for something; some are wrapped in blankets. The footage also features shots from a demonstration with signs that read "Return students' passports immediately," "Academic freedom for Iranian students," and a sign in Persian saying "We demand the Constitution to be applied." Thanks to Hamed Eghbal for providing this text description, in collaboration with SFSU's Center for Iranian Diaspora Studies. Opening graphic designed by Carrie Hawks.
