Since taking office, he has repeatedly voiced his desire to establish a better rapport with Negroes, but has been unable to persuade any leading black figure to join his government.

Marching in groups, students flowed from buildings to streets, blocking entrances and tying up traffic. They walked around streets making up chants that sounded more like high school cheers until troops came.
