Blacks Rally Against Higher Education Reorganization Plan
In Raleigh on the Capitol grounds a rally of over 3 500 black students from five state universities opposed a proposed higher education reorganization. Chapel Hill Mayor Howard Lee warned the plan would end black universities, urging preservation of black colleges and leadership development. Owusu Saduakai of Malcolm X Liberation University accused whites of seeking to merge black schools into white institutions while citing fiscal pressures. The Shaw University gathering in Raleigh ran from about 1 pm to 4 30 pm with no comment from the youth group on further action.
