Abstract
Andrea Walker Cummings discusses her time at Ohio State as a student from the fall of 1968 through the spring of 1971 and when she returned in 1977 to finish her degree. She discusses her recollections of the Black Student Union, the Black student newspaper, “Our Choking Times,” her election as May Queen, and life on campus as a Black student in general at that time. She also discusses her life after she graduated, particularly her role in the formation of the OSU Black Alumni Society. 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.”
