Whose Diversity? recognizes that meaningful changes on the University of Minnesota campus have only ever come from unapologetic acts of resistance. We remember the Morrill Hall Takeover of 1969 by the Afro-American Action Committee (AAAC) that established the African and African American Studies Department, the Martin Luther King Jr. Program, and the Black Student Union. We remember similar takeovers that established the Chicano Studies Department in 1971 and the Women's Studies Department later on. In the spirit of the Morrill Hall Takeovers and the ancestors and elders who inform our work today, Whose Diversity? continues the legacy of activism on campus. 


Whose Diversity? recognizes the importance of inter-generational resistance, and we are more than grateful for the support of Ms. Rose Freeman Massey and Dr. Horace Huntley, President and Vice-President (respectively) of the 1969 AAAC.
