Hundreds of UCSD students come together to protest UC tuition hikes in 2014. Tuition hike protests are important examples of multiethnic counter hegemonic movements because they affect every student, regardless of class status.

Front of Galbraith Hall, Revelle College.
During Third College’s creation around the time of 1969-1972, UCSD graduate student Angela Davis proposed the idea of Lumumba-Zapata College. This name is inspired by two African and Mexican leaders, Patrice Lumumba and Emilio Zapata, respectively. The new college was devoted to representing historically oppressed minority groups better than UCSD’s administration was doing at the time.

Posters protesting the appointment of Janet Napolitano as UC President in 2013 were hung on Geisel Library. UCSD students’ conflicted feelings towards Napolitano have resurfaced in 2017, after audits claim she hid $175 million while requesting more state funds at the same time.

Revelle Plaza, Revelle College.
In early 2017, President Trump issued an immigration ban on people from predominantly Muslim countries. Outraged by the obvious xenophobia and racism of the order, UCSD students of all religions peacefully marched to show their opposition. Above, Muslim Student Association Vice President Nadah Feteih addresses the crowd during the march.

Sign in front of Peterson Hall, Thurgood Marshall College.
When it was formed in 1970, Thurgood Marshall College was plainly named Third College. Since the college was formed in such a turbulent time in American history, a student coalition called the Lumumba-Zapata Collective proposed a list of demands that the new college’s administration should uphold. Many of these demands centered around underrepresented minorities and social justice. The activists of the coalition had to counter UCSD’s dominant administration in order to achieve its goals, which they did. Third College was ultimately named after African-American Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall, who famously worked on the 1954 case Brown vs. Board of Education.

Revelle Plaza, Revelle College.
Influenced by Vietnamese monk Thích Quảng Đức, UCSD student George Winne, Jr., protested America’s involvement in the Vietnam War by intentionally setting himself on fire in Revelle Plaza in May of 1970. Pictured above is a memorial for Winne directly outside of Argo residential hall in the wake of his self-immolation. The bricks on which Winne demonstrated his protest have been removed from the plaza and are now in a eucalyptus grove next Geisel Library.

Warren mall, Warren College.
In 2016, anonymous pro-Trump chalkings peppered UCSD’s campus. The chalkings weren’t just pro-Trump, but they were extremely xenophobic and praised hate toward minorities. Spread all over campus were phrases such as “Build the wall, deport them all.” In response, many positive chalkings, like this one above, attempted to alleviate the hostile racial environment by creating a sense of unity.

Revelle conference rooms next to 64 Degrees, Revelle College.
In 1972, students gathered at the Chancellor’s office in Revelle to demand that UCSD’s new third college meets the demands of the Lumumba-Zapata coalition. This student-run coalition, consisting of members of the Mexican American Youth Association (MAYA) and the Black Student Council (BSC), wanted to increase enrollment of people of color, and have the college’s curriculum focus on third-world studies.
