SUMMARY:Paths of Protest: Stories of Campus Activism at the University of Michigan
DESCRIPTION:This walking tour meets at the Detroit Observatory and concludes on the Diag. This tour was also adapted from a public history course at U-M. \nThe first teach-in. Lawsuits. Nazi resistance. U-M has long been home to campus activism\, and this walking tour will allow you to see historically significant locations on campus where you will learn about protests on campus.

Join us to learn about U-M’s role as a leader for student protests.
