Half a century ago, students at the University of Michigan stood up for their beliefs at a watershed moment in American history.

Today, young people are making their voices heard by the millions on issues ranging from climate change to gun violence.

Though concerns change from generation to generation, strategies for collective effort are grounded in historical traditions that remain important for contemporary agents of change to know.

Welcome to Blueprint for Resistance: where memory meets action.

With particular emphasis on the actions   taken by antiwar students in Ann Arbor during the Vietnam era, this online archive aggregates a variety of relevant artifacts to facilitate the intellectual growth and tactical efficacy of a rising generation.
