Diversity On Campus: The San Francisco State and Cornell Strikes 50 Years Later
Diversity in America: it's a story of slow progress beginning with the Civil Rights Movement that continues to this day. Two events that set these changes into motion were the protests at San Francisco State and Cornell University in the late sixties.
