Abstract
Description
Negative of a woman addressing the audience. It was taken by a University Daily reporter on March 9, 1978, for a story on the Lubbock school board's preliminary desegregation plan. This image appears on the cover of the March 10, 1978, issue of The University Daily with a caption that states: "Student speaker. Melanie Ainsworth, a representative of Distributive Education students at Monterey High School, told Lubbock school trustees Thursday DE students at that school were opposed to transferring the program to the 'Dunbar Magnet Complex.' Ainsworth, a 17-year-old junior at Monterey, said a recent survey showed only one of the 40 DE students at the high school would voluntarily attend such vocational programs at Dunbar as outlined in the board's tentative desegregation proposal."
