Student activism at the University of Virginia
The University of Virginia has a long history of student activists who formed radical environmental, religious, and political groups to champion various social changes.[1] An especially intense period of student activism occurred in the 1970s during the May Days strikes against the Vietnam. War.[2] More recently, the Curry School of Education and its Youth-Nex Center held a nation-wide conference in 2019 to promote student activism at UVA and beyond.[3]
