YM-YWCA at Duke University.

Hide Profile

A student religious organization operating within the Religious Activities Department and overseen by an advisory board and advised by the Associate Directors of Religious Activities. The YM-YWCA was created in 1969 in an apparent merger of elements of the men's and women's Y's. Among the activities undertaken by the organization were draft counseling, the promotion of vocation for social change, support and/or sponsorship of Black Days in Durham and selective buying campaigns, an international Christmas Bazaar, and the sponsorship of films and presentation of lectures by activists such as Dave Dellinger, Reed Kramer, Ben Ruffin, and Rennie Davis. The organization apparently ceased functioning around 1980-1981.
