    Description

    Up for your consideration is an armband made by the RCYB (see below) that was handed out at a protest rally in Berkeley, CA against the Bakke Decision.  Armband measures 22" x 4-1/4".
    In Regents of University of California v.
    Bakke
    (1978), the Supreme Court ruled that a university's use of racial "quotas" in its admissions process was unconstitutional, but a school's use of "affirmative action" to accept more minority applicants was constitutional in some circumstances.
    An important ruling on affirmative action given by the Supreme Court in 1978.
    Allan Bakke
    , a white man, was denied admission to a medical school that had admitted black candidates with weaker academic credentials.
    Bakke
    contended that he was a victim of racial discrimination.
    The
    Revolutionary Communist Youth Brigade
    (
    RCYB
    ) is the former youth group of the Revolutionary Communist Party, USA. It was founded as the Attica Brigade, and then was renamed the Revolutionary Student Brigade. During its existence, the most famous member of the
    RCYB
    was Gregory Lee "Joey" Johnson.
    Thanks for looking.
