Columbia University: Protesters lay siege at Hamilton Hall linked to 1968 agitation, rename it ‘Hind’s Hall'

Hindustan Times  

Chaos and anarchy have descended upon Columbia University after President Nemat Minouche Shafik refused to capitulate to protesters' demands and cracked down on ongoing protests. Columbia University protesters have locked themselves inside Hamilton Hall and renamed it Hind's Hall Latest reports coming in from the college campus suggest that protesting students have now laid siege at Hamilton Hall at Columbia University. During the 1968 protests at Columbia University, Hamilton Hall served as a focal point and symbol of student activism. The protests, which culminated in the occupation of several campus buildings including Hamilton Hall, marked a pivotal moment in the history of student activism and civil rights movements in the United States. The occupation of Hamilton Hall and subsequent negotiations between student protesters and university administrators brought national attention to issues of academic freedom, racial equality, and the role of universities in society.
