Abstract:

Students at William and Mary College recently called for the admission of African Americans to the College and advocated for mixed marriages. This provoked Senator William Langer of North Dakota to introduce a bill that would withdraw federal funds from any college which discriminated against African Americans. The students were also revered for being champions of free speech on college campuses.
