Question

What was the name of the multiracial organization founded on the campuses of the university of california–berkeley and san francisco state college, which challenged these campuses' eurocentric curricula?

Answer 1

The name of this multiracial organization was The Third World Liberation Front (twLF), which must be distinguished from the student coalition that, with the same name (but whose acronym is spelled TWLF), had been founded in 1968 at San Francisco State University in order to request less exclusionary admission practices and a curriculum that was more relevant to students of color.  

The Third World Liberation Front (twLF) was established in 1969 by UC Berkeley students, which demanded the creation of a Third World College, which would offer a curriculum conceived and taught by people of color, with an emphasis on the histories of underrepresented people, such as African Americans, Asian Americans, and Native Americans. After months of protests, a Department of Ethnic Studies was established, and Ethnic Studies became an interdisciplinary field in the U.S.
