“Black Jim Crow Studies”: Opposition and Repression, 1969–1972
摘要
During a twenty-four-hour takeover of the University of Minnesota administration building in January 1969, activists turned a fire hose on counterdemonstrators who had brandished White supremacist signs and shouted epithets such as “go home and take a bath.” White students ridiculed protesters or tried to end protests at UC Santa Barbara in October 1968 and at the University of Wisconsin–Madison in February 1969. Some of those counterdemonstrators at the University of Wisconsin–Madison were members of the right-wing Young Americans for Freedom (YAF) and wore “H” armbands to identify with San Francisco State President S.I. Hayakawa, a former student. YAF members and conservative students in other groups, such as the Young Republicans and the John Birch Society, tried to slow the movement at several other institutions, including Cal State Stanislaus and Marquette in Milwaukee. At Delta State in Mississippi, White students cheered and sang “Dixie” on March 10, 1969, when the police arrived to arrest rebelling campus activists.
