The Minneapolis Spokesman announced
the formation of the University of
Minnesota’s Negro Student Council, its
officers and student members. It offers one
of the best descriptions of African
American students activists at the
University available. The group’s
committees, including housing, indicate
concerns of the students. The fact that the
Spokesman featured the event on the front
page reveals the strong ties between
leaders and students in the African
American communities of St. Paul and
Minneapolis.
