The uprising of the strikes was because students wanted from their schools to be educated on ethnic studies and knowledge about their history. Their demand went unheard and unrecognized, there was no consideration of what the students were asking for and as time went on the tension rose and led to the first strike on November 6th, 1968.

This marks the day the strikes ended officially. It lasted for around 5 months and there was lots of participation from a high quantity of students and even other citizens. The strikes led to a lot of attention around the world and support. It led to the creation of The College of Ethnic Studies, first at SFSU.

Ethnic studies is important because it teaches students about their own culture, history, challenges and about other differences. It is helpful for students to know about these studies because it shows the important of each and every different race. It allows people to learn more and be proud of their background and be educated in what their people have experienced.
"ethnic studies is empowering and transformative for young people"
