April 30, 2024 Last night, as a group of activists took over Hamilton Hall just hours after Columbia University administrators had begun suspending students and clearing an anti-war encampment, there was a sense that history was repeating itself. Since the sixties, Hamilton Hall has been for protest on the Columbia campus. It was famously taken over by Civil Rights activists and anti-war protestors in April, 1968, and was subsequently seized by students in 1972, 1985, and 1992.
