- Description:
- This letter from Guilford College professor of Political Science Oscar Polhemus and his wife Helen expressed their support of Beth Taylor's participation in the sit-in at the S&W Cafeteria in Greensboro. They noted that while they would not be able to shield her from the 'ostracism and criticism' that was likely to follow; they would like to support her as much as possible, including helping with any fines incurred by her actions. This was significant as not all of the Guilford College community supported the student participation in such demonstrations.
