May 2008 marks the 10-year anniversary of the Afrikan Student Union sit-in at The Ohio StateUniversity, protesting changes to the Office of Minority Affairs. At that time, it was called the longest-running sit-in in OSU history - perhaps it still holds that record.
Anyway, I was a part of that effort. Now that the 10-year anniversary is here, I feel like we should do something to commemorate it. However, I'm busy, and everyone else I know who was involved is also busy. Being a grownup sucks. :)
Well, at least I mentioned it here. If I'm lucky, I'll find the time to blog on the experience sometime this month. Stay tuned.

Yo, Thanks Ric. Lest we forget. As it has been said before, "A people without history is like a tree without roots".
i too was a part of the '98 sit-in just as i was involved in the movement when i was a student in the 70's. The interesting thing is that the issues then, are basically the same as today.
This shows that we must be ever watchful. And we must be involved closely with organizations that are working to defend the gains we have made.
This way, we not only protect the gains we've made, we can make moves to gain more.
Our time is NOW, we cannot afford to waste time. Let's keep moving.
Thanks,
Shabaka
