Mike Tagawa leading OSU demonstration, Seattle, February 9, 1969
Order an ImageThe Oriental Student Union (OSU) at Seattle Central Community College (SCCC) was founded in 1970. It modeled itself after the campus Black Student Union (BSU), which during the 1968-1969 school year had used direct action protests to demand Black studies and the hiring of Black administrators and faculty.
In this image, OSU co-chairman Mike Tagawa, a veteran and sophomore in sociology at SCC, leads a demonstration protesting the SCCC administration's lack of action towards the OSU's demands that the school hire five Asian administrators.
