Campus Y
Charlie Jones was the first person to bring a group of us high school students together and we met at the YMCA on campus...Charlie Jones had a daughter that was a junior at the same time, and he pulled together a group of black high school students and students from the white high school. We met on campus at the YMCA. We had a dialogue for approximately two years and I would give anything to find those tapes of our meetings. That was my first involvement with white students.
