James Sharbrough Ferguson (1916-1984) served as chancellor of The University of North Carolina at Greensboro (UNCG) from 1967 to 1979. Ferguson received a bachelor's degree from Millsap College in 1937, a master's from Louisiana State University in 1950, and a PhD from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 1953. He came to Woman's College, now UNCG, in 1962 as Dean of the Graduate School. Ferguson recalls the March/April 1969 student strike against the campus cafeteria vendor ARA Slater by dictating his memories of the boycott. He talks about several of the people who played key roles during the strike such as Presbyterian Campus Minister James Allen, Student Government Association President Randi Bryant, lawyer Henry C. Frye, North Carolina A&T State University student Nelson Johnson, and Dean of Student Services Katherine Taylor.
