{"product_id":"the-takeover-1968-jenny-thompson-9780990657484","title":"The Takeover 1968: Student Protest, Campus Politics, and Black Student Activism at Northwestern University","description":"On May 3, 1968, a group of Black students at Northwestern University made headlines when they occupied the university's main financial building and announced that they would not leave until their demands were met. Their demands, submitted to university officials in April 1968, focused on a range of issues, from campus conditions to the racism they faced at Northwestern. Over the course of two momentous days, the whole world watched as events on the campus unfolded. Drawing from archival sources and interviews with some of the takeover's key players, the book pieces together the events of May 1968 as they unfolded; it also takes a broader view, stepping back from those two crucial days to examine what led to the takeover and what transpired in its aftermath.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jenny Thompson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0990657485\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780990657484\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e History \u0026amp; Company Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/20\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 506\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.48lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 1.13d","brand":"Jenny Thompson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":50666050158847,"sku":"9780990657484","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-takeover-1968-jenny-thompson-9780990657484","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
