Summary of SF State Strike

KPIX Eyewitness News report from November 15th 1968 at San Francisco State College featuring an interview with Professor William Staunton of the Ad Hoc Faculty Committee, who explains their position on Chancellor Dumke’s dismissal of George Mason Murray. This is followed by a press conference calling for the creation of a Black Studies Department at SF State in the Spring of 1969. Students are seen picketing on campus and heckling riot police with cries of: “Sieg Heil!” Ends with Governor Ronald Reagan declaring his belief to a reporter that a “militant minority” of students at SF State have no right to close down the entire college.
