This June 7, 1963 draft of an article was written by Harry G. Boyte for the North American Newspaper Alliance, and concerns recent civil rights demonstrations in Greensboro. Boyte begins the article by detailing recent racial violence in Lexington, North Carolina. He then discusses Greensboro Mayor David Schenck's decision to support the desegregation of business facilities, in response to mass protests in the city. He writes of mass arrests, including his own and Jesse Jackson's, that followed an earlier demonstration in Greensboro, and concludes by detailing police abuse during the arrests and at the jail.
