Domingo Morel explores the history and political factors that led to the creation of community-centered affirmative action programs for students of color in the 1960s. Through a case study of an existing program, Talent Development, Morel shows how protest, including violent protest, has been instrumental in the maintenance of college access programs. He also reveals that in response to the college expansion efforts of the 1960s, hidden forms of restriction emerged that have significantly impacted students of color.
