- Description:
- In this May 10, 1960 article in the Guilford College student newspaper, The Guilfordian, reporter Penny Smith interviews an unnamed senior from North Carolina A&T College about why students from that institution and nearby Bennett College entered into their sit-in movement and what they hoped to gain from their efforts. The article provides context for understanding Guilford College's role, or lack of a role, in the efforts to integrate local lunch counters and points to a perceived separation between Guilford College and the wider Greensboro community.
