Black Studies Program May Come Soon

This February 21, 1969, article from The Carolinian, the student newspaper of The University of North Carolina at Greensboro (UNCG) states that the only barrier to instituting a black studies program was the lack of student interest in such a program. According to History Department chair Richard Bardolph, the department and administration have no problem with the program. Bardolph was at the time working on his second book on The Negro in America. A black studies curriculum had been a stated goal of the recently-formed Neo-Black Society, a student organization.
