Review Quotes: 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.
