Dang, at that time, Student Community was in it strongest.
These kids were so mature and focused. I know we weren’t this effective when I was in school. Thanks. :)

I like 1960s accent
We need this now to get a tyrant out of office
Starting @6:26, I think this guy is right on the money with his words...even today, in 2020! Some things never change. The powers that be can rebuild over & over & never see the error of their ways. Here we go again. I don't think it's worth doing again. Find another way to pull the rug out from under the "Status Quo"!
I wish the young adults of their age today could speak as intelligent and understand what they protest about like these people. Doesn't mean I think these students were right in what they did and how they did it but I do respect that they know what they are fighting for.
UA-cam doesn't really like my comment does it ? I'll say it again. Its happening again. 2024. Free pal*stine 🍉
The Boomer Bernie Brahs of 2020.
Oh yeah Mr Wisdom, we should have stayed in Nam...watch out for that "Domino" effect it is right next to that "Trickle Down Effect" you are STILL looking to help you out.
@@GrumblingGrognard You are making my point.
@@richardgray8593 Not hardly you fool because I don't need the latest slogan from the talking heads to tell me what to think "Brah". Ever find those emails...those WMDs....how about that trickle down effect? Nope, but you found legalized Gerrymandering and unlimited corporate funding of our elections, For-profit-prisons and a wall with Mexico that is taking money earmarked for Defense. Keep up the good job MAGA!
@@GrumblingGrognard Prolly aready "ghosted" on this site but *the TRUTH shall not be silenced.....*
Here goes ~ What these disgusting, intrinsically evil creatures have done, is to manipulate the 2 of you into being diametrically-opposed to each other..... *DIVIDE & CONQUER!!* .....OLDEST TRICK IN THE BOOK!! As for you, "Grumbles", you still believe that the Uni-party is truly in opposition of each other & therefore, "working in the interest of the people/country".....let me assure: *They're NOT!!*
@@richardgray8593 As to your "profoundly empty" ~ also edited ~ comment: *I GOT NUTHIN'!!* B/C you said nothing, except for a (hidden/veiled?) insult, right out of the gate.....proving my above point!!
Build the gym!
I have respect for these hippies, not for their grandchildren of ANTIFA though.
That's what people like you always say about the current generation of radicals.
These were not hippies.
The hippies were the ones in San Francisco during the 1967 Summer of Love. !968, meanwhile, was the year of political activism and protesting.
Was there ever a time when students didn’t think they were smarter than everyone else? The media was/is totally complicit in their crybully tactics. If the students/liberal profs/harlemites wanted a facility take up a collection and build it yourselves. It’s far far easier to spend vast sums of other ppl’s money.
