In December 1984, a handful of University of California, Berkeley students walked off campus and sat down in front of the entrance to UC's administrative offices. Outraged by the violence of the South African government during the country's fight to end racial segregation, the students demanded that UC pull out billions of dollars in investments in companies doing business with South Africa. This seemingly small gesture of solidarity led to a national movement with far-reaching impacts. This episode is just one chapter in a long history of student protests on UC campuses.

In this episode, we talk to one of the founding doctors of Ward 86, the first dedicated HIV/AIDS clinic in the nation. UC San Francisco oncologist Paul Volberding describes how he and his colleagues pioneered a new model of care that not only changed the course of the AIDS epidemic, but still serves as an example of the management of other chronic diseases.
