Abstract

Alvin Whyte discusses his time at Ohio State and as a member of the Black Student Union (BSU). 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 recalling the sit-in, Whyte discusses how Black students connected with each other on campus, and how those connections continued from OSU to the present. To view video recordings of 2018 interviews of four students talking about the events of 1968, please go to http://go.osu.edu/CarmenCollection1968.
