Today in Labor History January 22, 1969: The Third World Liberation Front began its strike at the University of California, Berkeley, for the establishment of an Ethnic Studies department and Third World College. Other demands included the hiring of more people of color to administrative and faculty positions; POC control of POC programs; and financial aid for POC. The strike was the second longest student strike in U.S. history and began just a few months after a similar strike began across the bay at San Francisco State. Several strike leaders were arrested and suspended. Many faculty and staff also joined the strike. Police brutality was rampant and extremely violent. Several strike leaders were beaten unconscious by police and hospitalized. Governor Ronald Reagan called out the National Guard. However, the students ultimately prevailed, with the university opening the first Ethnic Studies Department in the United States on March 7, 1969. SFSU students also prevailed, with their College of Ethnic Studies being established on March 20.

Remember the #accessibility lawsuit that resulted in UC Berkeley taking down tons of free educational material in 2016?

They settled in 2022, and agreed to restore much of the material by Dec 2025.

Does anyone have an update on it?

In 1964, the #UniversityOfCalifornia Regents instituted a #LoyaltyOath for faculty and banned political #protest on UC campuses. Thousands of students at #UCBerkeley responded with a #SitIn. On #ThisDayInHistory in 1964 about 800 students in the #FreeSpeechMovement were arrested.

From Archbishop Desmond Tutu, in a pro-#BDS letter he sent to #UCBerkeley.

He passed away 2 years before the 2023 #Gaza #genocide started.

"True peace must be anchored in justice and an unwavering commitment to universal rights for all humans, regardless of ethnicity, religion, gender, national origin or any other identity attribute."

#FreeSpeech debate, protests flare at #TurningPoint event at #UCBerkeley

#Berkeley #TPUSA

Four #UCBerkeley students were arrested for trying to install a temporary protest sculpture ahead of a #TPUSA event. And by "arrested," I mean -- arrested, for real. They were taken to jail, and bond was set at $20,000/$10,000. Similar acts (attaching something to Sather Gate) had never resulted in criminal charges in the past.

The Daily Californian student newspaper's editorial denouncing the arrests makes the broader connections: "The criminalization of protest lays the groundwork for #authoritarianism."
