In social movement histories, we hear about the historical importance of struggles such as the Free Speech Movement in 1964 and the People's Park conflict in 1969 but very little about the TWLF. If the participants do not retell their history, it will be inaccurately retold. Or worse, it becomes omitted and erased from the narrative of general social movement history. </p><p>This anthology is also the story of what future generations did to continue the struggle, including the establishment of new twLF coalitions in 1999 and afterwards.</p><p>The strike reshaped academia then and its legacy has ramifications on how we look at history and societal transformation today. In many ways, the TWLF and the solidarity that emerged has provided future generations to draw on past lessons to make change in the present.</p><p><br></p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>This book is about the Third World Liberation Front strike that took place at UC Berkeley in 1969; the solidarity built by peoples of color and their many white allies. It is also about the generations following that have struggle to decolonize the educational system. The story does not end with origins of the struggle. It is very much about the contemporary situation where conditions call for political and social activism, new collective participation and leadership. This multi-generational scope is underscored by the title chosen: "The Power of the People Won't Stop." Narrative reflections and photographs help us to rethink the past, to learn from it, and to become encouraged to change the present.</p><p><br></p><br>
