College campuses became integral in the quest for social reform in the 1960s. With large numbers of Black students already present, campuses allowed young people an opportunity to ensure their voices were not only heard, but that their abilities to march were possible.
Unfortunately, peaceful protests were met with extreme violence from the police. Two historically black colleges and universities made national headlines as a result of multiple deaths and injuries at the hands of Black protesters. The fight in the 1960s still lives on today, with much of the same obstacles in place.
In this episode of Black History In Two Minutes or So hosted by Henry Louis Gates Jr., with additional commentary from Imani Perry of Princeton University and Hasan Jeffries of Ohio State University, we take a look at how college students gathered together in the name of social justice reform, all the while fighting a system that failed to protect their basic liberties.
Black History in Two Minutes (or so) is a 4x Webby Award winning series.
