Ephemera related to the 1968 student strike at San Francisco State College (now San Francisco State University), which was jointly organized by the Black Student Union (the first in the country) and Third World Liberation. The strike lasted for five months and resulted in the establishment of a Department of Ethnic Studies. It remains the longest student-led strike in the history of American higher education.
