disturbing when a Negro institu
tion of “higher learning” pleads
“financial hardship” as an excuse
for blocking the paving of a street
running by its property It (a
equally disturbing when the Ra
leigh City Council defers the need
! ed paving of that street because
of that plea.
Shaw University has long been
a citizen of this community—a
valued citizen. It has contributed
much, it. has received much. As
