Campus activism: Sit-in |
 |
| On April 9, 1968, five days after the assassination of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., people gather to support more than 100 black students who took possession of the Administration Building demanding increases in minority enrollment and support services for minority students. President Robben Fleming met with the students who had locked themselves in the building and agreed to discuss their grievances the following Monday, April 15. |
This week in history (30 years ago)A standing-room crowd jammed the Michigan Union Pendleton Room to hear a series of speakers address the problems of toxins and their impact on the state in the first part of a four-day symposium sponsored by the School of Natural Resources. The event was designed in part to give students an opportunity to consider and discuss practical applications to their fields of study.
