North Carolina urged to merge Negro colleges into UNC system
The author argues the U.S. Supreme Court ruling on Oklahoma requiring immediate Negro admission to law programs should push North Carolina to merge Durham and Greensboro Negro colleges with the University of North Carolina. A unified state university would offer equal education, transport for specialized study, and shared degrees while preserving segregation in housing and daily life. The piece calls on Governor Cherry and officials to act before court action forces change.
