Black and Brown Millennial Activism on a PWI Campus in the Era of Trump
Logan, Ginnie; Lightfoot, Brian A.; Contreras, Ana
Journal of Negro Education, v86 n3 p252-268 Sum 2017
This is a qualitative study of 12 Black and Brown student activists at a predominantly White institution (PWI). Using a combined civic engagement and critical race theory framework to analyze student narratives, the authors found that the campus climate is responsible for initiating students into activism, that millennials viewed activism on a spectrum, that minoritized identities are a driving motivation for engagement, and finally the first 100 days of Trump had little effect on the motivations of Black and Brown activists.
