Something about the athletic teams beyond the nickname would be good here. Rlquall 14:54, 18 August 2006 (UTC)Reply

The article fails to acknowledge the KC students who in spring 1963 demonstrated outside the Tennesseean Theatre for not allowing Blacks to buy tickets and view movies. As a UT freshman fresh out of the USMC I demonstrated along with them. Many of us were jailed; however, I cannot recall whether KC students joined us at the Knoxville and Knox County Jails. If so they were held in the Blacks' sections; I was in the whites'. When a KC student leader told me that President Colson had called an assembly, I attended and asked him not to discourage their demonstrating. He neither discouraged them on that occasion nor had me arrested. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.206.148.92 (talk) 01:22, 27 August 2023 (UTC)Reply
