- Description:
- This letter from Michael K. Curtis of the Smith, Patterson, Follin & Curtis law firm, dated March 30, 1973, outlines the assertion of several members of the University of North Carolina at Greensboro (UNCG) UNCG Student Government Association (SGA) that the university's decision to overturn SGA's reclassification of the Neo-Black Society was illegal. On March 26, 1973, SGA voted to remove the Neo-Black Society's funding and recognition as a student organization. The SGA decision was overturned by university administration, resulting in an eventual legal case leading to the Neo-Black Society's reinstatement as a recognized and funded organization. The letter also states that the SGA members in question had been subjected to intimidation and mentions a sit-in held in the SGA offices.
