 Mtu, Amilcar Oral histories (literary works) Accession Number UA.2018.0201 0.02 Cubic feet 2018 April 27 Amilcar “Al” Mtu recalls the events leading to and on April 26, 1968, when students staged a sit-in at Bricker Hall, then known as the Administration Building. He first discusses the issues that African-American students felt the Administration needed to address in 1968; he then talks about the event that led to the sit-in, and what happened after the sit-in, particularly the felony charges, including kidnapping, that were filed against 34 students who participated in the event – all African Americans. Mtu describes the sense of betrayal and anger he and others felt from the Administration’s actions and what ultimately happened to the students. (1) Compact disc, (2) file folder Scope and Contents
