Posted May 23, 2024
Ralph Frasier, who in 1955 became one of the first three Black undergraduate students to attend UNC, died last week. He was 85. Frasier, along with brother LeRoy and John Lewis Brandon, applied to UNC the year after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in Brown v. Board of Education that “separate but equal” schools for Black and white students were unconstitutional. (Chapelboro.com)
