Abstract | Joe Shedd was co-president of the Campus Y during the food service employees' strike in 1969. Shedd was a Morehead Scholar and became involved with the Campus Y through the Wesley Foundation. During his time at the Y, Shedd helped develop an effort to encourage African-Americans to apply to UNC, worked closely on the student reaction to the food service employees' strike, and helped organize the Washington Witness trip to Washington, D.C. in protest of the Vietnam War. Shedd describes the staff of the Y as a team of individuals whose combined strengths helped students form creative responses to many of the social issues of the late 1960s. Shedd further describes Y members' involvement in the food service employees' strike, the role of politics in the University’s response to the strike, and the dynamic between the Black Student Movement and other parties to the strike. Shedd shares many details about the Y’s identity on campus, and the role of Y staff like Anne Queen in social movements of the 1960s. |
