Before Israel’s war on Gaza: Other times US campuses became battlegrounds

Al Jazeera  

Students from Columbia and other US universities have protested against the Vietnam war, the Gulf war and racism in the past. I don’t think I have ever seen a crackdown of this nature.” Here are some of the key protests that US university students have led on campuses, and what they achieved: 1954-60: Brown v Board of Education and the Greensboro sit-ins In 1954, the US Supreme Court ruled that state-sanctioned segregation in schools was unconstitutional. 1968-69: Protests against the Vietnam war In April 1968, students at Columbia University and its affiliate, Barnard College, staged a protest against the Vietnam war, which had begun in 1954 and would last until 1975. A year later, on May 4, 1970, the Ohio National Guard shot dead four Kent State University college students, and injured nine others, during a protest by 300 students against the Vietnam war and its expansion into Cambodia. In late February 1991, students across several US university campuses – including the University of Michigan, Columbia University, George Washington University and Georgetown University – staged protests against US military involvement in the Gulf War.
