When Dean of Students Archie C. Epps III retired in 1999, Lewis declined to name a successor. Instead, he created an entirely new position to deal with student groups and named Illingworth to it.
Easterling, Soares and Allen—all of whom were black—were brought to court on murder charges. Epps says racial tensions ran high.
“I redoubled my effort to review events of that kind,” Epps says. “I didn’t understand why one would go to the Combat Zone, but it had been a practice for some time.”
“The trial came at a time when the city was in a state of high racial conflict,” Epps says. “It symbolized the racial conflict.”
Several Harvard students and Epps testified in the trial and, in March of 1977, Easterling, Soares, and Allen were convicted of first-degree murder and sentenced to life in prison.
