Creation Of Third College
title Creation Of Third Collegedescription Clio was the history muse in ancient Greece — and the name proposed in 1965 for UC San Diego's third college. . . . College III — slated to open in 1970 — was to focus on historical and classical studies. But history-making events intervened. . . . On April 4, 1968, Martin Luther King was assassinated — and Clio wound up on the cutting-room floor. Talk turned to founding a college in Dr. King's memory — with programs for recruiting disadvantaged students, tutoring local children and promoting the integration of majority and minority students. By 1968, the UCSD student body of approximately 3,600 included 33 Blacks and 44 Mexican-Americans. In fall 1968, [Provost Armin] Rappaport asked [the Black Student Council and Mexican American Youth Association] for suggestions regarding possible ethnic studies programs. Their joint response in March 1969 was the Lumumba-Zapata College demands, which blindsided the provost and infuriated Chancellor William J. McGill (Tiersten, 2007).

Lumumba-Zapata Proposal
title Lumumba-Zapata Proposaldescription Digital Library Development Program, UC San Diego, La Jolla, 92093-0175 (https://lib.ucsd.edu/digital-library) Ferguson II, Stephen C. (2015). Philosophy of African American Studies: Nothing Left to Blackness. New York, NY : Palgrave Macmillan, p28. Image: [Lumumba Zapata Movement]. Provided by Jorge Mariscal. Student leaders like graduate student Angela Davis proposed a Lumumba-Zapata College — named after the assassinated Congolese leader Patrice Lumumba and Mexican revolutionary Emiliano Zapata — devoted to the theory and practice of revolution, "communities of resistance," and socialist education. Students — with support from faculty such as Herbert Marcuse and Carlos Blanco — wanted a "Third World college" devoted to the needs and class interests of "students from oppressed social groups," that is, working-class Black students, Chicano students, and white students" (Ferguson II, 2015).artist/creator Unknownsubjectcontributor Digital Public Library of America (DPLA) -

"Students from MEChA have long worked to connect the campus with our surrounding community (Chute, 2011)."artist/creator Unknownsubjectcontributor Digital Public Library of America (DPLA)
