Jones, Roy
1969
Prepared by Roy Jones, President of the Black Cooperative Association and member of the Black Student Unity Movement, this proposal outlines a plan to establish a student cooperative complex at Rutgers-Camden. The document includes information about the history and philosophy of the Black Cooperative Association, which was formed on March 20, 1969. The proposal explains that the Black Cooperative Association has already purchased a house at 301 N. 2nd St. and plans to purchase the adjacent property at 303 N. 2nd St. The proposal requests financial support from the university in the form of a loan to cover the purchase price of the second house and renovation costs. The houses mentioned were located at the northwest corner of N. 2nd St. and Penn St., and they have since then been demolished. The exact date of the proposal is not listed on the document, but its content suggests that it was written during the fall semester of 1969, because it refers to March 1969 as occurring "last semester."
