Legacy Month

Legacy Month Banner

Annually, the CCCAC hosts Legacy Month in October. 

The purpose of Legacy Month is to honor the rich history of student activism and civic engagement. Legacy Month is hosted every year specifically in October to commemorate SJSU alumni Tommie Smith and John Carlos, who took a brave political stance during the 1968 Mexico City Olympics on October 16.

Read about the Olympic athletes who took a stand.
