Title	University experiences peaceful sit-in demonstration while faculty committee considers Senate's actions
Date	1973-03-28
Creator	unknown
Subject headings	University of North Carolina at Greensboro
Topics	UNCG Neo-Black Society
Place	Greensboro (N.C.)
Description	This March 28, 1973, photo spread from The Carolinian, the student newspaper of The University of North Carolina at Greensboro (UNCG), includes eight captioned photographs of a sit-in held in response to the Student Government Association's (SGA) decision to revoke the recognition and funding of the Neo Black Society, a student organization founded in 1968. Several student senators had argued beginning in February, 1973, that the organization was discriminatory and possibly was in violation of an SGA prohibition against affiliations with political or religious organizations. While the committee cleared the Neo Black Society, on March 26, 1973, SGA voted to reclassify (remove funding and recognition from) the Neo Black Society. The SGA decision was overturned by university administration on the basis of faulty evidence and improper procedure by SGA, resulting in an eventual legal filing by SGA members. At the beginning of the 1973-74 school year, the Neo Black Society was reinstated by SGA as a recognized and funded student organization after revising its constitution to reflect that membership was open to all students without regard to race.
