History
editThe Baodiao movement that started in 1972[2] inspired many Chinese-American students to become politically conscious in Taiwan affairs.[3]
In 1978, a group of University of Chicago Chinese-American students started an effort to stay the execution of the political prisoner Chen Ming-chung.[4]
In 1979 the exiled activist Siao-sin Lin organized the students into a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) organization with a mission to promote democracy in Taiwan.[5]
OSDMT was dissolved in 1987, after martial law was lifted in Taiwan.[6]
