Sterling Stuckey Lecture Series Presents: Marc A. Robinson Associate Professor of African American History CSUSB-

In this talk, Marc Robinson details the connections between the Southern Civil Rights Movement and the Black Student Union (BSU) in the state of Washington in the 1960s. The presentation will discuss how the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) was a crucial catalyst that fostered Black Power student protests of the BSU in Seattle and beyond. This research, featured in Washington State Rising: Black Power on Campus in the Pacific Northwest, challenges preexisting scholarship and popular notions of the era.
