The faculty of Nanterre in Nanterre, France in 1968.

FRANCE - CIRCA 1968: The faculty of Nanterre in Nanterre, France in 1968 - French colleges had been simmering for many years because of harsh conditions on campuses - both autocratic and overcrowded - Within the span of a few months, college students boiled onto the streets of Paris - Inspired by the civil rights movement in the United States, the student revolt began in January when a group of just 25 students demonstrated against unfair educational practices at the University of Nanterre - On March 22nd, students occupied the 8th floor faculty lounge at Nanterre - On May 2nd, protest marches moved to Paris and to the Sorbonne, closing that august institution for the first time in 700 years - On May 6th, 1000 students gathered at the Sorbonne to escalate the visibility of their complaints against authorities - On May 13rd, trade unions joined students to denounce and defy authorities - Civil disobedience then enveloped France as hundreds of thousands flooded the streets for weeks of confrontation and conflict.
