Midterm Video + Reflection

I noticed we never put our midterm video up...why? I don't know. Forgot who uploaded it so I felt responsible -.-



Looking back at this event, I thought it really meant a lot to not just our class as a whole but to all the students of San Francisco State University.

Honestly, I admit in the beginning, all I cared about was my grade and not studdering. But once we got united into this big mob of students shouting "On Strike We're Gonna Shut It Down!" I felt empowered. This whole midterm transformed into a reality because we're following up the 40th anniversary of the TWLF. Don't get me wrong, I care a lot about this situation because it doesn't only affect Ethnic Studies but these budget cuts seemingly destroy or damage the very belief that was fought hard for back in the late 60's when Ethnic Studies didn't even exist.

I strongly believe that all the blood, sweat and tears that were shed back in 1969 would be put to waste if the university had their way in handling Ethnic studies. This would go against all that people have fought for and what they believed in.

This strike commemoration that we did for a midterm was not about us, but dedicated to them, the original strikers.
