The Young Men's Progressive Club
Written by Mrs. Susie Marshall

"Young men between the ages of 20 and 35 founded the club in 1976 to promote change in Oxford. The group sought to promote social, economical, and philosophical development in the community; to improve community relations; and to conduct social action programs. Founders included Eugene McGee, Earl W. Richard, Thomas Thompson, Jimmy McGlowan, Lee Robinson, Willie Chatman, Jr., Sam Jones, Bill Taylor, John Jones, and Bill Mullens."
