Abstract

Mike Williams 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, Williams also discusses the early development of the BSU at Ohio State and the differences between the sit-in in 1968 and the 1970 demonstrations. Williams also has an oral history interview conducted in 2018 that can be accessed here: http://hdl.handle.net/1811/87643. To view video recordings of 2018 interviews of Williams and three other students talking about the events of 1968, please go to http://go.osu.edu/CarmenCollection1968.
