A few weeks back, a researcher asked me if we had any records about black student activism at Wofford in the late 1960s. I didn't turn up a lot of information, but I found a few news clippings tha I shared.
I found this one especially interesting. Some Wofford students visited a neighboring college to hear South Carolina Senator Strom Thurmond – who may well have been at the height of his political power and influence in this era. The clipping tells the rest of the story.
The clipping was from the Old Gold and Black, Wofford's student newspaper.
