Before students set up a pro-Palestinian protest encampment on a Columbia University lawn last week, some of them took an optional course called “Columbia 1968” about protests against the Vietnam War, a similarly galvanising moment of campus activism. Frank Guridy, the Columbia history professor who has taught the class since 2017, along with a couple of his students stopped by the encampment at the New York City campus on Thursday to discuss the parallels at a teach-in called “1968: Continuing the Fight.”
