The most effective and long-lasting student strike in U.S. History
took place at San Francisco State College in 1968. The first Black
Student Union, the first Black Studies Department, the only College
of Ethnic Studies, and the admission of thousands of students of
color resulted from this four-and-a-half-month strike which shut
down 80% of the campus. It has been called the movement which
"changed academia forever." Black students were only a small
percentage of those on campus, but they managed to engage thousands
of white, Latino, Asian, and indigenous students; SDS and the Third
World Liberation Front; the faculty union; and a huge portion of
the San Francisco Community. In the end, they were able to win most
of their 15 demands. The book is written by two participants in the
strike, one a member of the BSU leadership. Oral histories of
strike leaders are integrated with discussion of the events and
significance of this movement. What were the politics and
strategies? Why was the strike successful and what are the insights
for today's mass movements?
