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?
