From Nov. 9 - 11, 2005, Colin Powell, former Secretary of State, came to De Anza College to speak as part of the Celebrity Forum Series. His visit to campus was met with massive protest from De Anza students and faculty, as well as local community activists.
On the third night, Veterans Day, protesters clashed with police and arrests were made. Accusations of racial profiling and excessive force by police were made in the days and months following Powell's visit.
