[edit] Cornell University

Mr Jones did not lead students in the take-over of Willard Straight Hall. At least two other students planned the take-over (on Cornell's parents' weekend) and it was these two students who led other African-American students into the Straight. Mr Jones was not a prominent student leader at Cornell; he kept very much to himself. He did, however, participate in discussions that led to a resolution of the take-over.

I attended Cornell University from 1967 - 1971 and was involved in the take-over. I knew the students who planned and executed the take-over. I did not recall Mr Jones attending the "pre-take-over" party held right before students entered the Straight. 170.223.19.5 19:37, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
