MANN, ERIC
- Abstract
The article discusses the current student-led movement in support of the self-determination of the people of Palestine. It highlights the protests against the Israeli government's treatment of Palestinians and its connection to U.S. and British imperialism. The author draws parallels between the current movement and the activism of the 1960s and 1970s, emphasizing the need for direct action and sacrifice. The article also recounts the successful struggle against Columbia University in 1968, where a coalition of Black, Puerto Rican, and Dominican residents of Harlem, Black students, and white activists challenged the university's policies and won. The author expresses support for the current movement and encourages its participants to continue their fight for justice.
