...counter-culture ’60s. The Class of 1967 entered Harvard ready and willing to shoulder the task of dismantling the apparatus of segregation and poverty in America. Barely a month later, President John F. Kennedy ’40, the country’s greatest symbol of youth, energy, and progress, was assassinated. The boldest politically minded students embarked on the sorts of adventures still cited today; the group Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) sparked University Hall sit-ins disrupted by police force in 1968 and mobbed by the hundreds visiting then-U.S. Secretary of Defense...

The subject of art as a mirror on the world and the transformative power of dance became the focal point...

Onie's friend Aca found his mood reflected in the stark lyrics of Fight Back, the 1980 protest anthem by English hardcore-punk band Discharge: "People die in police custody/ Where's the justice in that?/ Don't see none/ Fight the system, fight back."
