The records of the Neo-Black Society document this African American student organization since its inception at The University of North Carolina at Greensboro (UNCG) in 1971. Materials include constitution, by laws, memos, reports, flyers, photographs, and audio visual materials dating from 1971 to the recent past.
Selected for inclusion in this project are materials pertaining to the UNCG Student Government Association’s reclassification of the student organization, due to its perceived exclusionary membership, which ultimately stripped the group's funding. Materials from this collection, as well as the Chancellor’s Ferguson’s records document reactions from the Neo-Black Society, the findings of an ad hoc faculty committee convened to advise the chancellor, and the legal action taken by white students when the SGA decision was reversed.
