This chapter provides a detailed look at four recent examples of activism on American college campuses. The first of these case studies is the University of Missouri, where racial tensions following the Ferguson shooting heightened tensions among students who believed the campus was not racially accepting. The second case explores the City University of New York and their handling of faculty and graduate student contracts, salaries, and appointments. The third case presented is Seattle University, where students and administrators clashed over curricular content. The final case detailed here is the University of California's attempt to significantly raise student tuition, and how students, faculty, and the public joined forces to protest these increases.

This chapter focuses on the early lives of three of the key personalities in this book. The first of these is Rafael Serra, cigar maker, poet, and politician. The second is Gertrudis Heredia de Serra, a midwife who became one of the few black women to complete a certification program in obstetrics at the University of Havana before joining her husband, Serra, in New York. There, the couple raised a daughter. Heredia, along with another midwife, led the various women's organizations affiliated with La Liga. The third is Sotero Figueroa, a Puerto Rican typesetter and journalist. Figueroa set the type, proofed copy, and oversaw the printing of José Martí's newspaper, Patria. The experiences of three other figures help to fill in some crucial gaps around the stories of the first three: Manuela Aguayo, Juan Gualberto Gómez, and José Martí. These individuals do not represent the full spectrum of diversity within the group that would later converge at La Liga. But their stories are sufficiently distinct from one another to provide a starting place—a sketch of the varied racial landscapes out of which they came.
