ANSWER:
The American Indian Movement hoped that the Alcatraz islands would be made into a university as well as a cultural center.
Step-by-step explanation:
- For this, the AIM occupied and protested in Alcatraz Island for 19 months.
- The protestors lived on the island until the US government forcefully displaced them and reoccupied the islands.
- The Alcatraz penitentiary was built on the land of the natives and once the penitentiary was closed in 1963, the Indians felt that they should now be returned their land.
