From 1973-1979, Hostos students, staff, faculty, and community members mobilized three massive campaigns in the South Bronx, each of which accomplished its goal.

Hostos was created as part of Open Admissions at CUNY to meet the needs of the Latino community in the South Bronx. First offering classes in 1970, it became the sole bilingual college in the New York City tri-state area.

But Hostos was soon threatened with closure during the 1975 fiscal crisis.
