About
The Black Student Union at UW: Black Power on Campus
In Spring of 1968, the BSU initiated a string of militant actions at both the UW and in Seattle High Schools, demanding changes in admission policies and curricula. When the BSU seized the office of UW administration building during a meeting of Faculty Senate Executive Committee, President Charles Odegaard and Senate leaders agreed to a set of reforms that matched some of the protest demands.
