Title

"Riot at S.B. High"

Description

In this article, a CSUSB student recounts a 1969 protest at San Bernardino High School, where Black and Chicano students faced police hostility amid rising tensions. Although racial antagonism was present, the root cause was a persistent lack of communication between students and school administrators. The author argues that systemic neglect and authoritarian leadership contributed to the unrest and advocates for student-led dialogue and self-determination as the path toward resolution.
