by Center for Democracy and Citizenship • Last week we wrote about a dozen young people from Minneapolis and Brooklyn Center, Minn., who are using Public Achievement in a program at Hope Community to understand power and make collective change.
By the People is a weblog on civic engagement produced by the Center for Democracy and Citizenship at the Hubert H. Humphrey Institute of Public Affairs of the University of Minnesota.
As part of their work and learning, they partnered with SPNN to create a documentary about a group of African American students at the University of Minnesota (U of M) who, in 1969, staged a sit-in to demand that the university improve the campus climate - and access - for minorities. In this film, the teens place an event organized by students in Minnesota 40 years ago in the context of an ongoing nationwide movement for justice and equality.
