On Thursday, February 6 from 4:00 to 5:30 p.m. Professor Marc Arsell Robinson (UC San Bernardino) will discuss his book, Washington State Rising: Black Power on Campus in the Pacific Northwest<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/nyupress.org/9781479810406/washington-state-rising/__;!!K-Hz7m0Vt54!jjwJACK0B1AzugoLaLoWsG91XzmH0aTbwSqXjbrOENXpHoI-jtzCZTg9rztX0kkwASwDLzsdxbb-r35DYrGiz8g$> (NYU Press, 2023), which documents the origins, actions, and impact of the Black Student Union (BSU) in Washington from 1967 to 1970. The BSU was a politicized student organization that had chapters across the West Coast and played a prominent role in the student wing of the Black Power Movement. Through accounts of Black student struggles at two different college campuses in Washington, one urban and one rural, Robinson details how the BSU led highly consequential protest campaigns at both institutions and beyond, which led to reforms such as the establishment of Black Studies programs, increased hiring of Black faculty and staff, and new initiatives to recruit and retain students of color.

Following the talk, Prof. Robinson will be in dialogue with Prof. Dan Berger<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/www.uwb.edu/ias/faculty-and-staff/dan-berger__;!!K-Hz7m0Vt54!jNTPS3Kb0UBeneHR2SRfHnqmFUCs2wDqDpFIfIYZmgKp-4fi9al9-xRsRvxUP7zvpiHLuxF12GVWiTAg$> (UW Bothell).
