![Apartheid Protests (1986)
Another moment of massive student activism occurred in 1985. Protesting the living conditions of black South Africans under Apartheid and Dartmouth's ongoing investments in South Africa, Dartmouth students erected four 'shanties' on the Green.
The shanties stood until February of 1986, when members of The Dartmouth Review destroyed them with sledgehammers. This incited further protests and a Parkhurst Hall takeover in order to force the Board of Trustees to meet with the 100 protesters.
Heeten Kalan '92, a participant in the Apartheid protests, commented on the intensity of the meeting.
"[The meeting] was incredibly emotional," he said. "There was a Native American student who said that if my student is based on blood money, you should take my scholarship away. There were trustees in tears."
By the end of the calendar year, the Board decided to end their investments in South Africa.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:wpszes634t5gux7yh2dela7t/bafkreihhebilz2l6oyfd4lfgxdjolidqn6dj4kyjosawnsokfanqasttea)
