- Description:
- This two-page letter, dated September 13, 1968, from Dorothy Prince to University of North Carolina at Greensboro (UNCG) Chancellor James Sharbrough Ferguson discusses an incident where Prince phoned the university asking to speak to an employee. She was asked if the employee was white or black, and was told that "if she's colored, she's probably a maid" which Price found offensive. Prince suggested that the incident did not reflect well on the university.
