Columbia University protesters occupy a campus building, echoing 1968

“Columbia students protesting racism against Black people and the Vietnam War were occupying Hamilton Hall and other buildings exactly 56 years ago — on April 30, 1968 — when police violently cleared the campus. More than 700 people were arrested and almost 150 people were injured.” https://www.vpm.org/npr-news/npr-news/2024-04-30/columbia-university-protesters-occupy-a-campus-building-echoing-1968
