The Last Student Who Helped Integrate U.N.C. Has Died

Ralph Frasier speaks about being one of the first black undergraduate students at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, in the 1950's.

Frasier, his older brother LeRoy, and John Lewis Brandon — all Durham high school classmates — fought successfully against Jim Crow laws when they were able to attend the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in the fall of 1955. LeRoy Frasier The trio became plaintiffs, in part, because their families were insulated from financial retribution — the brothers' parents worked for Black-owned North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Co. in Durham, for example. The brothers were 14 months apart in age, but Ralph started his education early.

The brothers later graduated from North Carolina Central University in Durham, an historically Black college. LeRoy Frasier worked as an English teacher for many years in New York. Brandon got his degrees elsewhere and worked in the chemical industry.
