1968, 40 Years Later: Student, Worker Protests Sweep France, Leaving Indelible Mark on the Country and the World - AMY GOODMAN, Democracy Now!
It began when university students in Paris occupied the area of the Sorbonne and Nanterre universities in response to a dispute over visiting rights to a female students’ dormitory. The protests grew into a call for wider university reforms and greater personal freedoms that led to three weeks of mass demonstrations. Hundreds of thousands of people took to the streets to protest heavy-handed police treatment. In a show of solidarity, ten million workers, or roughly two-thirds of the French workforce, went on strike. It marked the biggest general strike in French history.------------------------------------------- posted 6:55 AM :: reference link ::
