Abstract

Kenneth “Kenny” Anderson discusses his time at Ohio State as a student and member of the Black Student Union. This interview was one of 15 conducted by students in English 4567 (Rhetoric and Community Service) to capture as many stories as possible from former Ohio State students associated with the 1968 sit-in at the Administration Building (now Bricker Hall) that led to the arrests of 34 Black students, now known as the “OSU 34.” In addition to the sit-in, Anderson also recalls his experience as a member of the freshman men’s track team. In addition, he recalls his experience facing much more blatant racism at University of Texas at El Paso, which he attended for a semester his freshman year before transferring to Ohio State.
