  • Like their 1960s counterparts, progressive Black students today continue to push their institutions to create, maintain and expand initiatives to graduate Black students, hire Black faculty and fund Black studies and related curricula.
  • Overall, today’s Black student politics and struggles for greater equity continue the legacy of the Black Student Unions of the 1960s.
