Description
The UC Berkeley Black Student Union visits The Context of White Supremacy. These Bay Area black scholars drafted a list of 10 demands "to improve conditions of black students on campus." Chancellor Nicholas Dirks ultimately responded to their stipulations by "[removing] his office from the responsibility to implement solutions." The undeterred students directed a large protest on Saturday, April 18th. They shutdown Sather Gate to illustrate the Racist academic environment black students are subjected to. Relatives of Oscar Grant were present. These rebellious scholars linked the White Power that governs their prestigious university to the White Power that extinguishes the lives of Rekia Boyd, Miriam Carey, Kenneth Harding, Jr. and many more. They've asked that a building on campus be renamed for former Black Panther and "wanted terrorist" Assata Shakur. Generally, Whites aren't much for forgiving or commemorating black females with natural hair or "cop killers."
