Racism At UNC-G: An Analysis

This December 13, 1968, article from The Carolinian, the student newspaper of The University of North Carolina at Greensboro (UNCG) summarizes a recently-completed analysis of race relations at UNCG. Students were polled on their attitudes toward aspects of the civil rights movement (including the riots following the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.), their beliefs about black people, their social and dating tendencies, and their attitudes on integrated housing. Most students, while disapproving of some methods of the civil rights movement, were supportive of integrated housing, and disagreed that blacks are less intelligent or lazier than whites. A distinct majority, however, stated that they would not consider interracial dating.
