The San Francisco State University established a Black Studies Department on campus on strike in 1967.
The student and faculty strike was the longest student walkout at an academic institution in American history; it began on November 6 and lasted until March 21, 1969.
The strikers' demands included the creation of a stand-alone department for ethnic studies, increased representation of faculty members of color, and increased visibility for students of color on campuses.
The strikes were a response to the pervasive Eurocentric lens on education. According to John H. Bunzel, the students believed that the white community's control over education from kindergarten through college resulted in a lack of attention to subjects relevant to the experiences of people of color.
A Black Studies Department was founded at San Francisco State University.
