Title: The Black Revolution on Campus

Author: Martha Biondi

Year of Publication: 2014

Thesis:
Black students in the Black Freedom Struggle created more change than all other student movements. Biondi shows how Black student protests contributed to desegregation of faculty and students, fomented African American/Black Studies programs, and encouraged other groups to protest as well. Biondi widens the aperture of the Black Power Movement to demonstrate the gravity of its influence in academia and its strong legacy. It is also an endorsement for the further need for Black Studies programs.
