Owner of Gateway Explains His Position on Integration
Description
The Gateway, a restaurant on Hillsborough Street, remained segregated despite student protest. The owner, Bobby Wilder, explained that he integrated one of his restaurants and kept the other segregated so to provide a choice for his customers. He could not integrate both establishments for fear of a decline in white patronage.
