Comment from Keith Priestly: I have many memories of this movement. I was a CSU senior. I was not the extreme militant radical type, so I remember a particular CSU Administrator in Student Affairs being surprised at my participation in the march to then CSU President ...Flower’s Office in Fenn Tower. We wanted answers. Dr. Winbush had been a very strong advocate for us, who always had time for students, we loved him and could not understand why CSU’s executive administrators did not. I personally remember Dr. Winbush encouraging me to pursue a Ph.D. in psychology. The creation of his position, VP of Minority Affairs, was a big deal, it made local headlines. I still remember his starting salary. As I recall CSU didn’t even offer Dr. Winbush a cost-of-living increase, which was a slap in the face in those days. Today, everyone is happy to keep their job. The protest became bigger than Winbush. Black Faculty and Staff made a statement. (I have a photo). The protest spread to a march in front of Tower City, where one of the CSU Trustees had ties. (I have a photo). Students stayed overnight in Fenn Tower, without the police kicking us out, probably would never happen today for any reason. I came down for at least one night. Former State Senator, Jeffery Johnson, held a press conference (I have a photo). Also during the protest, I made a collage of all the various news headlines and we had it on display in the first floor of Fenn Tower. If you were to visit CSU’s Fenn Tower today, you would have no idea such a protest could have ever occurred. Fenn Tower has been completely remodeled top to bottom, complete with suite-style residence halls.
