- Description:
- In this letter to Guilford College President Grimsley Hobbs, Burlington mayor W.L. Beamon criticizes Guilford College's response to black students' demands in a recent campus protest. These demands include a minimum grade requirement of "C," a place to gather as a group without supervision, and the use of college owned cars for trips into town. Beamon explains strategies for negotiating with the demands of different interest groups and criticizes the student's prolonged use of New Garden Hall as a meeting space on the monday after the demands were made.
