In late 2015, student demonstrations about racial inequality and campus climate took place at colleges and universities across the country. These recent protests hearken back to the black student activism of the 1960s and 1970s. In order to explore this connection, Towson University is hosting a screening and panel discussion about the documentary Agents of Change on March 30th. In preparation for this screening, Librarians Joyce Garczynski, Alyse Minter, Eden Parks, and Sarah Burns Gilchrist have prepared an infoPlaylist (resource guide) that includes histories and primary sources from the 1960s and 1970s protests, books about those protests, and sources linking historic protests to contemporary activism.
