This video, titled Homecoming: Golden Alumni Reunion, was produced for the Class of 1967 in the fall of 2017. The video piece reviewed the historical footage of our country’s major events including: civil rights, John F. Kennedy’s assassination, space program, Vietnam, Elon’s Convocation speakers during the 1960s, aerial of the historic campus during the 1960s, the Senior Oak tree, Spring Weekend in 1966, and Temptations singing.  Dr. J. Earl Danieley spoke on the protest marches on campus. In particular, Danieley spoke of one protest march to his home at midnight. In fact, Danieley joined the march on Williamson Avenue. The Elon protest march was because Danieley was not going to be on Elon’s campus for Homecoming. Instead, Danieley was going to be presiding at a Southern Christian Church Conference, which he thought was more important at the time.  Danieley decided to stay for Elon College’s Homecoming, instead of attending the conference. In 1964, Elon College football received a championship at Burlington Memorial Stadium. The basketball team obtained its first championship, since 1956, in the academic year of 1964-1965. The narrator quoted some of the most enriching moments from the Class of 1967. The video piece ended with “Congratulations Class of 1967, Happy 50th Reunion.”
