The New Negro Campus Movement ebbed in the late 1920s and ended by the mid-1930s. Black student activism changed course, latching onto the nascent Long Civil Rights Movement. And yet, in the growing historiography of the formative years of the Civil Rights Movement, Black students are rarely brought up. Instead, New Dealers, community activists, populist politicians, Communists, unionists, anticolonialists, NAACP and New Negro Congress members, and labor organizers are some of the groups often situated at the starting line in the late 1930s. Although some mention has been made of Black student activism of the 1920s, the traditional historical narrative asserts that Black student protesters were marginal actors until the sit-in wave of the spring of 1960.
