I screenshot this and searched, and here's the results. I couldn’t confirm that exact 1978 front-page with those headlines or the specific quote. But here are some observations and clues suggesting it’s likely not authentic (or at least, heavily suspect): --- Some known facts The Sacramento Union was a real daily newspaper in Sacramento, California, active until 1994. The UC Davis / Shields Library holds microfilm archives and clipping files of The Sacramento Union, including in the 1970s. The archives cover “the microfilm which is available for 1851–1994” for The Sacramento Union. Thus, if that clipping were real, it should in principle be findable in those archives. --- Reasons for suspicion 1. No matching record found in known archives so far Given the archives’ existence, one would expect specialized newspaper-search services or library catalogues to show that issue or headline. But searches for “June 18, 1978” editions or “Doors open for blacks in race field Sacramento Union” turned up nothing credible in trusted archives. 2. The clipping image has formatting and type issues The style, fonts, spacing, and the way “BOLA TINUBU, A Nigerian student…” is written read like a modern fake overlay rather than an authentic 1978 newspaper layout. The alignment and the mixture of uppercase and lowercase seems uneven. 3. Inconsistency / plausibility concerns The wording “Doors open for blacks in race field” and the placement look a bit contrived. Also, the smaller snippet “Because of the shortage of minorities …” seems generic and reminiscent of language used in modern social media for viral clips. 4. No verification from credible historical or journalism sources If such a sensational headline existed—claiming a student named “Bola Tinubu” making that statement in The Sacramento Union in 1978—it would likely have been noted or flagged by historians, fact-checkers, or media outlets. I found no independent corroboration. --- Conclusion It’s very likely that the “publication” as shown is either fabricated, edited, or misleading (e.g. modern overlay on an archival background). I do not believe the specific clipping in your screenshot is genuine as presented.
