Students at Howard University are demanding greater power on their campus.

Students at Howard University are demanding greater power on their campus.

For more than a week, hundreds of students at Howard University have occupied the school’s administration building, mirroring a similar sit-in with similar demands by students fifty years ago. Both protests were motivated by student discontent at their decision-making power and the school’s leadership, but, despite hours of negotiations with school administrators, the current protest has outlasted the first to become the longest sit-in in Howard’s history. Kojo explores the occupation, its historical context and where it may lead.
