50 years after Black Student Strike, students still protesting

By Jenna Walters | Feb. 1, 2019

Gerald Lenoir recalls blocking the entrance to Bascom Hall as students and police shuffled around him. To his left he saw a fellow student beaten by a police officer. He knew another who had gotten their academic scholarships revoked. He feared for his physical being and his academic opportunity, but he stood tall — peaceful knowing his protest was justified.  2019 marks 50 years since thousands of UW-Madison students, including Lenoir, marched in solidarity, demanding retention of black students, formation of a black studies department, support of a black cultural center and hiring black faculty.
