The Campus as Crucible of Struggle




University campuses have long been a site of student protest and organizing, a legacy that continues today with the explosion of student encampments for justice in Palestine, against police brutality and state violence, immigrant rights and for free speech. In this online event, Stefan Bradley and Danica Savonick will discuss their work on Black student movements in Harlem in the 1960s and 1970s, at Columbia University and the City College of New York respectively. They will be joined by Barbara Savage, who will discuss her biography of longtime Howard professor Merze Tate, who traveled from her classrooms to the world to fight injustice.
