Comments
Video begins with older folks on campus chatting. A couple of faculty are interviewed for their thoughts on a Deaf president. One says he understands why they're protesting and another says he is too busy to be interviewed because he is working on a test. Video cuts to a group of students who are refusing to go to class. Video cuts to Ely Auditorium (present day Foster Auditorium). Tim Rarus tells audience members the hierarchy of students in the protests. Harvey Goodstein gives a recap of the four demands, and the result of the Board meeting when they shared their demands. Others come up to discuss other issues like another meeting, fundraising, and encouraging them to speak out and how to do so in a nonviolent way. Gary Olsen gives an interview on the Gallaudet Mall. A cookout is held and several folks are interviewed about their support for DPN.
