Black students refused an apology from former governor and baseball commissioner A.B. (Happy) Chandler over a racial remark he made this week and have threatened to boycott classes one day next week if he does not resign from the University of Kentucky’s Board of Trustees.
About 100 students, including at least 25 members of the school football team, marched from the campus to City Hall chanting, “Happy’s Got to Go” and “Resign Happy.” The Rev. Michael Wilson, a city councilman, read a three-page statement--supported by groups such as the NAACP, the Kentucky Rainbow Coalition and the Urban League--calling for Chandler’s resignation.
