As protests ramp up on college campuses throughout the United States, I thought it might be helpful to pull together in one place episodes about the history of college protests and the larger context of the social and political world of the US in the 1960s and 1970s.
College Protests:
- The Jackson State Shootings in May 1970
- The 1968 Student Uprising at Tuskegee Institute
- The Kent State Shootings, 50 Years Later [on Two Broads Talking Politics]
- The Student Right in the late 1960s
Additional Protests/Demonstrations/Riots from the 1960s/1970s:
- The 1966 Division Street Uprising & the Puerto Rican community in Chicago
- The 1966 Compton's Cafeteria Riot
- The 1972 Occupation of the Bureau of Indian Affairs
Other episodes about the culture and politics of the late 1960s/early 1970s:
