Synopsis
In April 1969, students at the City College of New York occupied the campus in response to systemic racism. The protest, initiated by a group of Black and Puerto Rican students, led to the cancellation of classes and the resignation of the college president. Archival footage and contemporary interviews reveal the events surrounding the strike, which aimed to address the exclusion of people of color from public universities. The Five Demands recounts this significant moment in the fight for educational equity.
