The Power & Pain of Multicultural Politics on Campus

When votes came in a few weeks ago for new student senators at California State University Northridge (CSUN), most of the winners were students of color. While that shouldn’t seem unusual for a multi-ethnic campus where minorities constitute 62 percent of the 27,000 students, it was a noteworthy departure from past elections.

Letters To The Editor

Transforming the Study of Literature — and Ourselves

The pursuit of the study of what we now call African American literature is its own story. The teaching of this radical and radicalizing literature is a parallel story that shares all of the problems and challenges of African American presence in the academy and in this nation.

Rooted Against the Wind. – book reviews

Rooted Against the Wind is a collection of essays in which Gloria Wade-Gayles takes us with her as she grapples with personal responses to some gripping issues: aging, rape, homophobia, where Black scholars should teach, and choosing to live in a Black community.

Forbidden Fairways: African Americans and the Game of Golf. – book reviews

Golfing history is not high on the list of favored subjects for most Americans. Moreover, yet another painful recitation of the darker side of American history involving race relations is about as welcome to most people as a politician’s confession that taxes are going up. To his consummate credit, Calvin Sinnette succeeds not only in telling a story that needs to be told, but does so without rancor and with a style and grace that bespeaks his own love of the game of golf.

Whispers, Secrets and Promises. – book reviews

Love has strange powers; its control is unexplainable. Love can singe souls, lift spirits, weaken the most resistant knees with abrupt force. Love can inflate or deflate human hearts. Indeed, love can charge emotion into an abundance of affection.

When speech is truly free

When I walked into the newsroom of The Houston Post on August 16, 1972, there were only three other African Americans working at this major daily as full-time journalists.

Celebrating and deconstructing our educational progress

A recent Census Bureau report has good news about African American education. In Educational Attainment in the United States, the Census Bureau reported that 86.2 percent of African Americans ages twenty-five to twenty-nine were high school graduates in 1997, continuing an upward trend in the educational attainment of African Americans that began in 1940.

When hazing leads to death: one campus’ response – Southeast Missouri State University

All campus administrators face issues of hazing, some with more urgency than others. Southeast Missouri State University faced a worse crisis than most in 1994 when twenty-five-year old Michael Davis — a journalism major — died after two weeks of hazing at the hands of his Kappa Alpha Psi brothers.
