[BPS36]

This 5-minute 22-second black-and-white film documents a large outdoor student protest rally at a California State College campus, likely around 1969. Filmed from within the crowd and from an elevated vantage point, the footage captures hundreds of students — racially mixed, with a prominent African American presence — gathered outside a campus building beneath a freeway overpass. Speakers address the crowd from a hillside, students carry flags and signs, and the film includes close-up confrontation footage between a uniformed officer and a student, suggesting this is tied to the Third World Liberation Front student strikes of that period.
