The Harlem Globetrotters did indeed give a demonstration in the gym at Williston. They were doing some kind of activity where students were randomly picked from the audience to come onto the floor. Whenever a white student was picked they were booed. I can still see the face of an overweight white girl with red hair who was laughed at unmercifully. There was nothing anybody could do about it except try to ignore it because tensions were so high. Some things you never forget.
