Days of Resistance: Documenting BLMHE is a multi-media oral history project that documented the formation and impact of the student-led movement of Black Lives Matter in Higher Education (BLMHE). Housed within Teachers College Higher and Postsecondary Education Program (HPSE), this group consists of HPSE students and faculty that have come together to analyze the effects of systemic societal forces on members of the HPSE community and their broader effects on higher education. This participatory community oral history project seeks to consider the place for these stories which focus on themes of social inequality within higher education and how activist student movements continue to inform and influence not just culture and politics, but also education. We are driven by the inspiration of the counter-legacy of Black student movements as manifested by BLMHE, and these stories reflect how current actions that innovate on that tradition can offer alternative imaginations for a democratic future.
