Developed by Antonia M. Santangelo, York College

This teaching material was developed as a result of the CUNY 1969 Teach-in & Retreat that took place in Summer 2023. The assignment asks students to focus specifically on the events that occurred before and after students submitted the “18 Demands” to the Brooklyn College administration, write a reflective essay, and conduct an interview.
