Summary:

"This book is about the Third World Liberation Front strike at UC Berkeley that began in 1969. Although an unfinished struggle, it is about the solidarity built by peoples of color and many white allies, shaking the foundations of the academic establishment in its call for relevant education. This book is also about the many generations following that have taken up the fight for decolonization of the educational system. While it is about the origins of the struggle, it does not end there. It is very much about the contemporary situation where conditions today call for political and social activism, new collective participation and leadership. This multi-generational effort is underscored by the title of this book: 'The Power of the People Won't Stop.' In this book, narrative reflections and photographs help us to rethink the past, to learn from it, become necouraged to change the past"--Back cover.
