Harvard Suspends 75 in Black Protest at Cambridge
About 75 black Harvard students, including undergraduates and graduates, were suspended after occupying the dean’s office, the faculty club, and Gund Hall construction site to demand 20 percent black workers on campus projects. The protest, led by Phillip H. Lee, ended when an injunction forced the group to evacuate University Hall. Professor Archibald Cox and university officials urged noncoercive action and progress through negotiations.
