Emergency Call to Action
Dated April 15th, 1991 at 3:27 PM, this facsimile was an “emergency call to action.” It reported that students who had taken over City University of New York (CUNY) campuses, including New York City Technical College, Baruch College, and Queens College were being beaten by police and campus security guards. Twelve injures from New York Technical College were reported, including one woman who was in critical condition. The document called on CUNY faculty and students to “wage a massive response of protest” and, more specifically, for faculty to cancel classes for one day on April 17th.
