Collection Overview

Collection Description & Creator Information

Scope and Contents

Three students in Black Panther berets standing behind Nassau Hall with flag-draped casket in the snow.

On February 21, 1969, the ABC (Association of Black Collegians) organized a boycott of classes by black students. Students took turns standing guard over the symbolic casket resting against the cannon on Cannon Green. Students were also protesting Princeton's investments in South Africa.

Arrangement

Photographs in the Campus Life Additions series have been grouped by topic. Whenever possible, efforts have been made to match the arrangement of the Additions to that of the original collection.
