Title	Trouble in Greensboro: A report of an open meeting concerning disturbances at Dudley High School and North Carolina A&T State University
Date	1970-03
Creator	North Carolina Advisory Committee on Civil Rights
Biographical/historical note	The North Carolina Advisory Committee to the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights was established in 1957 by the Civil Rights Act of 1957, and was chaired in its early years by Greensboro native McNeill Smith. The Advisory Committee's primarily responsibilities were to gather information through studies and other fact-finding activities, and to advise the U.S. Commission, president, and Congress on matters of statewide significance and local incidents under investigation. The committee investigated the 1969 Dudley High/A&T State University protests and the 1979 Death to the Klan march, both of which happened in Greensboro and ended with violence and fatalities.
Subject headings	Greensboro (N.C.) -- Race relations Protest movements -- United States North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University
Topics	Dudley High School - A and T State University protest, May 1969
Place	Greensboro (N.C.)
Description	This thirty-one page report contains preliminary findings regarding student protests originating at Greensboro's Dudley High School around May 1, 1969, which escalated over several weeks and culminated in a violent clash with local police and National Guard on the campus of North Carolina A&T State University (A&T) on May 22nd and 23rd. The report describes the open meeting as an effort of fact-finding and defines the responsibilities of the commission and the state advisory committee. The report, published in booklet form, contains a chronology of events, an analysis of the situation, and a set of recommendations for the Greensboro public schools, A&T, the Greensboro police, and the Greensboro community at large. This particular copy of the report was used by historian William Chafe as part of his research culminating in his book Civilities and Civil Rights published in 1980.
