Title
July 1966: First Upward Bound students arrive on campus, join picket
Description
Students from two Black high schools were the first beneficiaries of the Upward Bound program at UMD. During their two-week visit, they attended lectures and visited fraternity and sorority houses (which were under fire at the time for their de facto segregation). These students also joined a picket, demonstrating with others who were protesting the University's inaction on housing discrimination in College Park.
