- Description:
- This circa February 1990 article published in the Greensboro News & Record reports on the reaction of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) to a January 26, 1990, incident at Page High School in Greensboro, North Carolina, which resulted in a walkout by black students. The school newspaper had published the results of a racial sensitivity study containing anonymous and stereotypical comments about minority students, prompting the walkout and cancellation of afternoon classes at the high school. The NAACP called for the dismissal of two staff members and an investigation of racial issues at the school. This article was clipped and saved in a scrapbook on race relations in Greensboro by Clarence "Curly" Harris, manager of the Greensboro Woolworth store at the time of the 1960 sit-ins.
