Show Notes

In this episode of Fresnolandia, hosts Jordan and Dani sit down with Fresno City College history professor Paul Gilmore to uncover a fascinating but often overlooked chapter in the city’s past: Fresno’s Free Speech Fight.

You may have walked past the small plaque at Mariposa Plaza—on the corner of Fulton and Mariposa—without realizing its deeper significance. This plaza marks the site of an early 20th-century struggle for civil liberties that still resonates today. Paul recently gave a public talk at Tioga-Sequoia about this historic moment, and we’re excited to bring that conversation to our listeners.
