YouTube Description
as posted by the channelSaturday, May 19 at 10pm, Sunday 4pm ET - On April 23, 1968, several hundred Columbia University students protested the Vietnam War and the school's plan to build a gym on a public park. After tearing down a construction fence and battling with police, the group occupied several campus buildings. Negotiations between the university and the students failed and, six days later, New York City police were called in, protesters and bystanders were beaten, and 700 arrested. "Columbia Revolt" was made by the New York Newsreel film collective and documents the events from the student protesters' point of view, including scenes inside the occupied buildings, police beating students, and negotiations with campus authorities.
