Minutes of Bedford-Stuyvesant Coalition on Educational Needs and Services Community July 11, 1968, Meeting with Negotiation Team

On July 11, 1968, the Bedford-Stuyvesant Coalition on Educational Needs and Services held a community meeting, at which the five-member Negotiation Team, appointed to represent them in planning Community College 7 with City of New York (CUNY) officials, presented updates on their activities and progress. At the meeting, the Negotiation Team presented position papers drafted by three consultants on behalf of the Bedford-Stuyvesant community, arguing for the new college to open as a four-year institution and outlining pathways to realize that possibility. Among the consultants was Prof. Donald Watkins of Brooklyn College, from whose personal papers the Community College 7 collection was curated.
