Racism had been a long standing problem in Stevens Point. All African Americans who were in Stevens Point in the late 1960s were for the most part with UWSP. Some were faculty members and a handful of others were students. There were and still are very few African Americans in central Wisconsin. The 7th Congressional District, which contains cities like Marshfield, Wisconsin Rapids, Wausau and Stevens Point, was in 1960 the whitest in the entire United States.
