The Daily Student Voice of Howard University
BY BRITTANY HUTSON

At 1 p.m. Wednesday afternoon, students who were casually walking past the Blackburn Center were stopped by students dressed in all black with their faces painted in black and white.
Holding signs that read "WHITE ONLY" and "COLORED ONLY" in black letters, those dressed in black asked "Do you know what's going on?"
On Dec. 4, 2006, two lawsuits, Meredith v. Jefferson County Public Schools and Parents Involved in Community Schools v. Seattle School District No. 1, will go before the Supreme Court to determine whether desegregation in public schools for grades K-12 and affirmative action will remain legal.
In order to increase awareness around the campus, UGSA participants and volunteers willingly dressed in their respective wardrobes and took on the Yard to inform students about the implications of the Supreme Court's ruling.
