Columbia students often hear about the history of dissent on campus. The university explains the student sit-ins of 1968—when protesters occupied buildings (including Hamilton Hall) for a week to protest anti-Black racism, the Vietnam War, and Columbia’s expansion into the surrounding neighborhood of Morningside Heights—in promotional materials with a hopeful nostalgia.
