Marshall is the first to profile a major Southern University during this turbulent time period marked by racial and political tension. Readers journey through events that would shape a university and its future, including the hiring of Bobby Bowden as football coach and the dramatic upheaval of a campus making history.I felt compelled to tell FSUs story about this extraordinary time in our history, said Dr. Stan Marshall, author and past president of FSU. The 1960s were instrumental in shaping the world today and I wrote this book to provide insight into that era.Known as the Berkeley of the South, FSU became a regional focus for campus unrest, and Dr. Marshall parallels FSUs story with other notable institutions that faced the same issues.

Kennedy and the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. Marshall was criticized for not closing the doors of the university following the Kent State shootings - as some other universities did. Marshall believed it was more important for FSU to carry on with the mission of education.Dr. J.
