I conducted my research under Dr. Gooden, Chairperson for the Department of Pan-African Studies, focusing on the Black Student Movement here at Kent State University in the late 60s - early 70’s. Together, we decided that there was more than enough information to produce a documentary on the various stories and sub-communities of this time. Black United Students was formed in 1968. That fall, the organization led a walkout of more than 250 students demanding a more representative campus, as well as a Black Studies program and a building on campus. This led to the implementation of what we now call the Department of Pan-African Studies and Oscar Ritchie Hall. We also examined the ways in which the Black students advocated for each other on a personal level. Many alumni stayed in contact and have a plethora of stories to share on their time at Kent State. A sense of community belonging, and activism among Black students on this campus was essential to the development of Kent State University.
