Title
October 1, 1968: Newly elected BSU leadership makes demands
Description
The BSU underwent a transformation under the leadership of Earl Wynn and his successor Bob McLeod. Wynn served as president of CORE, the antecedent to the BSU, which McLeod was elected to lead in fall 1968. They both recognized the limitations of a campaign for integration that did not address inequality, calling the former "irrelevant."
Black students across the country rejected the racial diplomacy they associated with integration and assimilation. The BSU counted 200 members in the fall of 1968 and set out to increase their total numbers, representation in elected student government, and a sense of Black solidarity.
