University of Virginia Library

Upward Bound

Mr. Williams has worked and
"is still working" for various
programs such as Upward
Bound, designed to increase the
enrollment of Negro students in
the University.

He felt that more good could
be done by students to make the
University an environment more
comfortable to Negro students.

"Nothing is more effective in
recruiting students than the
testimony of Negro students enrolled
now." It is in the hands
of the students to determine
whether the atmosphere here is
acceptable to the Negro student."
