Title:
UMass student strike: strikers in the Student Union ballroom holding signs supporting a general student strike, 'Solidarity forever,' and a paper machie puppet
Description:
From a series of photographs labeled "UMass strike." In November 2007, graduate and undergraduate students at UMass Amherst waged a two-day strike that began with a gathering in the Student Union ballroom and culminated in a ninety minute occupation of Whitmore Hall. The strikers demanded a rollback in student fees, greater funding for diversity initiatives, the ouster of police from dormitories, and greater student control over student spaces.
