In 1969 a student protest against institutional racism turns into a full-blown uprising that temporarily shuts down the City College of NY.
About this Event

Join us for the documentary film screening of The Five Demands by Directors Greta Schiller and Andrea Weiss on Monday, November 25, 2024 at 5:30pm at the Auburn Ave. Library for African-American Research.



In April 1969, a small group of Black and Puerto Rican students shut down the City College of New York, an elite public university located right in the heart of Harlem. Fueled by the revolutionary fervor sweeping the nation, the strike soon turned into an uprising, leading to the extended occupation of the campus, classes being canceled, students being arrested, and the resignation of the college president. Through archival footage and modern-day interviews, we follow the students’ struggle against the institutional racism that, for over a century, had shut out people of color from this and other public universities. The Five Demands revisits the untold story of this explosive student takeover, and proves that a handful of ordinary citizens can band together to take action and effect meaningful change.

We have the privilege to have both filmmakers plus students from the takeover live and in-person! They will talk not only about the making of the film, but also give anecdotes about the art of filmmaking.
