Write a 1-page analysis in short essay format on the documentary we screened in class today, Agents of Change: The Longest Student Strike in U.S. History. Consider the following questions in your analysis:
• What conditions at the time inspired students to protest inequity in the university setting?
• What is the importance of including black and ethnic studies in university curriculums? What are the real-life consequences of not including black and ethnic studies?
• Why were the administrators resistant to meeting the students’ demands?
• How does the resistance to including black and ethnic studies reflect ideologies we’ve learned about in class this semester?
• Can you think of any current debates in academia that relate to the those presented in the film?
