THIS DAY IN HISTORY March 19, 1968: Howard University Protest

Howard Protest 1968

The 1968 protest at Howard University is included in segment 11 of Eyes on the Prize and in the documentary “Color Us Black!” that streams for free online.

From March 19-23, 1968, Howard University students seized the Administration Building. As two of the conditions for vacating the building, the students insisted on changes in the discipline policy and that courses be offered in African American history.
