SLAM! (formed in 1996) was a citywide radical student activist group, based at Hunter
College, City University of New York (CUNY). SLAM!'s main organizing concern was to
stop the budget cuts and tuition hikes at CUNY, but they also addressed various social
justice issues, particularly those relating to the ethnically and racially diverse
and largely working class student body at CUNY. The records include meeting agendas
and minutes, promotional material and brochures, material related to reading groups
and fundraising; topical campaign files, including material related to Mumia Abu-Jamal
Youth, Rising: Taking Back our Stolen Education, CUNY Coalition for Open Admissions
campaigns; documents related programs such as the Summer Youth Employment Program
and the High School Organizing Program; commercial and recorded VHS tapes related
to Crazy Horse, Nelson Mandela, workers rights issues, 9/11 and global economic theory.
