People of my generation tend to reflect on that era with a certain measure of nostalgia, which is not only about our youth but also about a prevailing sense of solidarity and a widespread belief that we were in the process of making a revolution. New organizations emerged and the university began to be transformed in response to demands for Black, Latina/o, Native American, Asian American, and women’s studies programs. We felt connected to the decolonization and revolutionary processes in Africa, Asia, and Latin America.
