3/12/2020 The Center for Multicultural Education (CME) honored the 50th anniversary of the UNI Seven on March 9 in the Maucker Union Ballrooms. The article discusses the 1970 peaceful protests that led to the suspension of seven students - "The UNI 7" - and subsequent protest where almost 30 students were arrested. One of the protest demands was a learning space for people of color - two years later, the vice president's house became the Ethnic Minority Cultural and Educational Center, which evolved into today's CME. Ten activists involved in the protests were present at the event: Ann Burke, Palmer Byrd, Christopher Dalton, James Johnson, Glen Moore, Terry Sallis, Terry Stevens, Tony Stevens, Joseph Sailor, and Byron Washington; photo.
