Everytime I travel for work, this exact image of Zuko greeting me after a trip pops into my head and I suddenly feel immense guilt. Shout out to @rachaelvm454.bsky.social for giving him all the pets while I’m gone. 🫶

1991. And, last but not least, students protest the Gulf War, taking to the streets around campus and Squirrel Hill alongside Pitt and Duquesne students.

In short, anyone who says protest at CMU has only looked one way or never happened at all, is a liar. 7/7

1988. Students demand divestment from South Africa apartheid, covering Warner Hall in banners and leading “unapproved” protests across campus. 5/7

1970. Strom Thurmond, notorious racist, was pelted with marshmallows during his visit. The student paper made this iconic series of images the cover of the newspaper mocking him. (Personal favorite) 4/7

1969. Black Construction Coalition protests shut down construction on campus over unfair union policy that kept Black workers from joining. The cover of the Tartan (student paper) read “And they said it couldn’t happen at tech,” referring to administration claiming protest couldn’t happen at CMU. 3
