Brian Lear on WNYC for the last 15 minutes of the show as we often do in this

slot a call in and this time we come back to the issue of the protests on college campuses

and the school's responses to them, and this time will invite calls from people who are

involved 50 or 60 years ago in the last wave of campus protests this big

and widespread and divisive from the Vietnam War era and the Civil Rights

era. So who listening right now protested in the late 60s or early 70s what memories

about your protest or feelings about today's the current situation what feelings

and memories is the current situation prompting in you?

212-433-Wnyc, if you're a person in that category, 212-433-9622 who listening right now protested in the late 60s or early 70s

What memories about your protest or feelings about today's is the current situation prompting in you.

Maybe you even want to give advice to today's protesters based on your experience

a long time ago.

We had a high school senior caller last hour and high school senior who's

reconsidering the college that he got admitted to with his politics in mind. That caller, high schooler, cited the Kent State shootings,

knew that much history for students shot dead by National Guard members in the spring of 1970 at Kent State in Ohio.

Many schools shut down for the rest of the semester after that.

So who, listening right now, protested in the late 60s or early 70s and with

Columbia in the spotlight was anyone listening right now at the famous Columbia

University protest of that

the era in 1968.

Does anyone with that experience relate to this?
