During the summer of 1990, one of the longest student sit-ins since the Civil Rights Movement, according to the People's Daily World magazine, took place at Cleveland State University. I will be posting snippets from news articles, journals, books, photos and other materials leading up to the protest.
Were you a participant in the student protest? If so, I want to hear from you.
If you participated in the Cleveland State University student protest back in 1990, please send me your name and email address to iknowstan@gmail.com. All contact information will remain confidential. Please add 'CSU Protest Participant' in the subject line. Questionnaire, focus groups, face-to-face and phone interviews will be forthcoming.
