About the 1968-1969 San Francisco State College Strike
The San Francisco State College student strike, lasting from November 1968 to March 1969, was the longest running academic
strike in U.S. history. It began after a series of events, starting in May 1967, increased political organizing and tension
on campus. [For more detail see Helene Whitson's "Strike! A Chronology, Bibliography, and List of Archival Materials Concerning
the 1968-1969 Strike at San Francisco State College"]
The strike was led by the Black Student Union (BSU) and the Third World Liberation Front (TWLF), a coalition of Latinx, Filipino
and Asian student groups. The strike also had support from progressive white students, community groups, the Parents Strike
Support Committee, and faculty members who joined the picket line.
The strike was waged under the tenure of three college presidents. The first two, Presidents John Summerskill and Robert Smith,
resigned. It ended under the tenure of acting President S.I. Hawakaya, who became known for his dramatic responses to keep
the College open, including ripping the wires out of the audio system during a student rally.
The major outcomes of the demands were the establishment of the School of Ethnic Studies, which was the first in the nation,
and faculty positions, funding and staffing for an Economic Opportunity Program (EOP), increased enrollment of students of
color, and amnesty for students involved in strike activities.
