Unsigned July 27, 1969 Letter from "Concerned Members of the Negotiation Team" to Al Vann

On July 27, 1969, “Concerned members of the Negotiation Team” of the Bedford-Stuyvesant Coalition on Educational Needs and Services (B-SCENS) drafted a letter to Al Vann, Chairman of the B-SCENS and the Negotiation Team, asking that he postpone an upcoming coalition meeting, instead meeting with the “fourteen members.” Those “fourteen” were likely a group of B=SCENS members who had written directly to City University of New York (CUNY) Chancellor Albert Bowker a month earlier, formally dissenting from the stance Vann had taken in deliberations over the selection of president for CUNY's proposed Community College 7.
