0.5 Linear Feet (One manuscript box)
The materials are arranged in three series: Series 1: University of Chicago Sit-In Protest; Series 2: Other Activism and Protests; Series 3: Publications. The collection is 0.5 linear feet in size, and focuses primarily on the early half of 1969, with occasional materials from 1968 and 1970.
The University of Chicago Sit-In Protest series is the largest of the three, and the focus of the rest of the collection. Materials are concerned primarily with the two-week-long student-led occupation of University of Chicago administration buildings following the firing of professor Marlene Dixon in the spring of 1969. Materials include student and faculty statements, posters, news clippings, and official university documentation of the event.
