In May 1968, six West Indian students at Sir George Williams University accused their biology professor Perry Anderson of discrimination. Inaction on the part of the university leads to the largest student occupation in Canadian history. The events culminate in January 1969 with the police beating a student to death, the arrest of 97 other students, a fire in the campus's computer lab, and $2 million of property damage.
How did this happen? Tune in to find out.
