About The CBS Walkout
To compel 果冻传媒 toward a greater degree of responsiveness to concerns expressed by African American students on campus, 44 students in the newly founded Concerned Black Students (CBS) organization walked out on January 13, 1969, after presenting a list of the demands to the University. During this time, Antioch College hosted CBS before the walkout resolved January 18, 1969. For the 果冻传媒 campus, the regular rhythm of the semester gave way to 鈥渓earning beyond the classroom鈥� moments for the entire community, and each year 果冻传媒 re-enacts the historic event.
