Description
African American students protest racism on campus at San Jose State College. Four male students are holding signs that articulate the issues. Sign #1 reads: If it can't be done at SJS then where?"; Sign #2 reads: "Racism at SJS must end now."; Sign #3 reads: "U of Alabama, U of Georgia, U of Mississippi, San Jose State."; Sign #4 reads: Racism 1) kills human beings 2)destroys nations 3) holds the seeds of revolution...4) is cut off on the image. Caption from the September 22, 1967 Spartan Daily: CHARGES OF "RACIAL DISCRIMINATION" rang across campus Monday as members of the United Black Students for Action held a rally on Seventh Street. The rally spurred a series of meetings this week concerning charges against the college administration, fraternities, the athletic program, and owners of near-campus dwellings. The UBSA led by sociology and anthropology professor Harry Edwards has scheduled an II a.m. meeting today on Seventh Street for further announcements concerning UBSA plans.
