Abstract

In 1970, a group of black CSB/SJU students took over the SJU President's office in an effort to promote change and fight racism. Roske, the CSB/SJU Archivist, will use images and documents from the CSB and SJU Archives to tell the story, and history professor Ken Jones will provide historical context for this key event in the evolution of race relations at CSB and SJU.
