The Architects' Resistance (TAR) was formed by architecture students from Columbia University, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Yale University and schools of architecture predominantly on the east coast. TAR was a communications network, a research group, and an action group concerned about the social responsibility of architects. TAR picketed the offices of Skidmore, Owings & Merrill in 1969 for its design of the Carlton Centre in Johannesburg, South Africa, during apartheid. It also organized a protest in front of the South African consulate in New York City. (Source: Anthony W. Schuman, a former member of TAR;
