Cultural InvASIAN Midterm Reflection

For the midterm we were the poetry group and at first we had some problems actually deciding what to do, but in the end we really pulled through and had something awesome. I felt that by 'bombing' the campus with our lines from poems and personal quotes, we really commemorated the 1968 TWLF strike and showed that we care about our ethnic studies.

I paired up with Jaimie and we attacked the Business building with:
Remember the strike!

TWLF '68

My experience was cool, despite the fact that i had to get up at 6AM to get to campus at 7AM. I thought it was so cool that we were trying to secretly share, educate, and show people that the Strike is and was very important and we must stand up and fight for our rights again today.
We must save our Asian American Studies and the College of Ethnic Studies now, and not let the work of the people in the 1968 strike be a waste. "The students united will never be defeated!!!"

And in the spirit of our midterm, i decided to write a little poem to get across what i think about the current situation of the budget cuts and what our group did.

That Was Then, This Is Now

The strike of '68
The result is just so great.
But now the problem is back,
and we must be on the attack.
Don't be afraid
we won't let this legacy fade!
