Price: Free
Proud young men and women with determination in their eyes and cries of change on their lips have authored new chapters of world history. They range from Howard University alumnus Stokely Carmichael, a.k.a Kwame Ture, a leader of Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee (SNCC), to the hearing-impaired students who fought for a new president at Gallaudet University.
The purpose of this project is to chronicle the history of student activism in the nation's capital from the 1960s. This important story offers a decade-by-decade look at the issues and events that drove students out of the classrooms and into the streets. By shining a mirror on the past, this project will close gaps in our knowledge and provide insight to understand the challenges of tomorrow.
