1969232621969. Student ActivismAnti-Racism UC Berkeley student organizing broadside advocating for Third World Studies and against racist education policy. "Third World students" voice a demand for "an autonomous Third World college" and the rejection of a Black Studies department "under the control of the administration." The broadside ties those demands to the School of Education and the political responsibilities of future teachers naming "the suppression of Eldridge Cleaver" as an example of how the university functioned within "the perpetuation of racist exploitation." Its argument is built section by section through "What Is Racism" "Education and Racism" "The University and Racism" "Third World Fight Against Racism" "Student Teachers" and "The Education Caucus" moving from campus labor and admissions policy to housing wage inequality Vietnam era military service and public school teaching.<br /> <br /> Student Teachers: Support the Fight Against Racism. Education Caucus. Berkeley circa 1969. Mimeographed leaflet 2 pages on one sheet printed recto and verso 8.5 x 14 inches. The text opens by stating that "for nine months Third World students on the Berkeley campus have been negotiating with the administration" then argues that administrative concessions left control of curriculum and hiring in university hands. Subsequent sections sharpen that claim through specific figures and institutions asserting that Black people make "on the average $2500 less a year than do white workers" that "44% of black people live" in inadequate housing and that "over 70% of the combat deaths of California in Vietnam are chicano and black." The School of Education material is especially pointed arguing that future teachers receive "no courses dealing with the basis of racism or with ways of realistically combatting racism in the public schools" and calling on student teachers to "boycott all classes on campus" and join picketing "at the Sather Gate picket line from 11:00-2:00 every day." The leaflet closes with meeting information for the Education Caucus and three telephone numbers for organizing support.<br /> The piece belongs to the Berkeley strike wave that produced the most consequential campus battle over Third World Studies and Ethnic Studies in the United States. By directing an appeal to student teachers invoking New York teachers' strikes and proposing "a 199 course next quarter" and ultimately "a permanent course on racism and teaching Third World students" it documents a concrete goal of anti-racist student protest to improve the training and awareness of educators in racial inequality. Light toning and a few light ink marks; clean and sound overall; overall very good condition. A Berkeley student broadside linking the Third World Liberation Front strike to teacher training curriculum and the formation of anti-racist educational practice. unknown
1969221101969. Radical Activism Latino Chicano African American Counterculture Rare and powerful student protest pamphlet issued by the Third World Liberation Front TWLF during the landmark 1969 strike at the University of California Berkeley. This publication documents one of the most significant multiethnic student-led movements in American higher education in which Black Chicano Asian American and other marginalized students united to demand institutional recognition self-determination and community control of education. Strike 1969. Third World Liberation Front. Berkeley: Third World Liberation Front 1969. Scarce. 20 pages. Illustrated with political cartoons timeline and protest photography. Original stapled self-wrappers. The pamphlet features a cartoon cover by Berkeley underground artist Roger Ashe depicting a porcine police figure sprawled before Sather Gate beneath the ominous quote from Chancellor Heyns: "Sather Gate will be kept open by any means necessary."<br /> <br /> The TWLF strike began on January 22 1969 as a coordinated campaign to compel the university to establish a Third World College with departments in Black Chicano and Asian Studies led and staffed by members of those respective communities. As the pamphlet declares "The fundamental issue of this strike is the right of Third World people to determine the structure and content of the Third World programs on this campus." It criticizes the university's paternalistic posture: "We don't need to be told what to think or how to do it; we are capable of determining on our own what kind of education we want and need." The demand for autonomy is inseparable from a critique of white liberalism and institutional racism: "The racist power structure does not give up power willingly. Rights are not given; they must be won." The chronology details escalating confrontation between students and administration from early demands submitted by the Afro-American Student Union in April 1968 to the full mobilization of TWLF in January 1969. In February and March the university deployed the National Guard and police to violently suppress protests leading to mass arrests injuries and academic discipline. The pamphlet exposes these tactics as deliberate repression: "The TWLF wants to make it clear that the so-called legal system cannot get away with this type of terror tactic." It calls for amnesty asserting: "All disciplinary charges against cited students be dropped. Academic amnesty will be granted to all striking students." On the final page a clenched fist graphic accompanies the colophon: "Written and distributed by the Third World Liberation Front." Staple rust and light toning to edges; minor handling creases to wrappers. Unbound. Overall very good condition. A critical primary source from one of the most important student strikes in American history Strike 1969 captures the voice and vision of a generation of radical students of color fighting for educational sovereignty and racial justice at the height of the Black Power and Chicano movements. unknown
