Description: This is a nice, original printing of "On Strike Shut it Down," a photographic history of University of Wisconsin protests. Black students at UW–Madison, propelled by longstanding grievances and fresh flash points, called for a campus-wide student strike until administrators agreed to 13 demands. Joined by thousands of white allies, they held rallies to educate the community about racial inequities, boycotted classes, marched to the state Capitol, took over lecture halls and blocked building entrances. The latter actions spurred the governor to activate the Wisconsin National Guard. The protest, surging and ebbing over roughly two weeks in February 1969, was among the largest in the university’s history. Dubbed the Black Student Strike, it would forever alter the campus. Text by Joel Brenner, photography by Richard Faverty. Measures 8" x 6" and contains 40 pages There is some mild surface discoloration front cover and some wear at edges, foxing/discoloration at edges of covers and more pronounced on back cover. Please review photos and Email me with any question. A great addition to any collection!
