[Tsa] Dakin Takeover remembered

[Julian Padilla]

> Twenty years ago students of SOURCE were concerned with the campus  
> climate on race and the institution's lack of action to address  
> these concerns. The result was an eight-day takeover of the Dakin  
> Master's House that ended with the Dakin Agreement. The Cultural  
> Center is honoring the student activism and commitment to social  
> change in a series of events next week. We invite you to learn and  
> be inspired by the efforts of SOURCE. (attached is a full description)
