Description:
From a series of images labeled "Umoja taveoker of administration building." Umoja, the Black Student Union at Boston University, occupied the administration building for twelve hours before winning concessions on nine demands from President Armand Christ-Janer including appointing a Martin Luther King Chair of Social Ethics; establishing an Afro-American Affairs Coordinating Center; increasing efforts to recruit and retain Black students and faculty; and making efforts to make the papers of Martin Luther King as complete as possible.
