It then gives textual information regarding the Takeover. The six demands are shown next. Current students and faculty were interviewed. The first question being, "What was the atmosphere leading up to the take-over nationally and at Wooster?" Deja Moss, Ronald Hustwit, and Antwan Chambers' responses are included in answering the question. Hustwit speaks on Mark Goodman and Joe Kennedy's role in leading the Takeover and meeting with President Copeland. The interviewee's then respond to the question, "What was the purpose of the Takeover itself and how did it play out?" The sit-in lasted 13.5 hours and it was a peaceful protest. President Copeland met the most importnad demands, and changes were soon seen. Hustwit, Chambers, and Moss respond to: "What were the immediate and long term outcomes of the Takeover?" and "What is some advice you would give to current Wooster students about facing adversity?"
