...show in a university setting is illustrated especially well by the collection from the 1969 protests at Harvard. Imperatives scrawled on top of the image of a clenched red fist on a t-shirt from the time represent a call to arms on campus: the words “strike because your roommate was clubbed” were based in events as real as “strike because there’s no poetry in your lectures” and “strike to smash the corporation.” The physical manifestation of student fervor, the shirt?...
