Sports, competition and society – athletic and academic competition seen as outcome of a competitive society
Sixty-four teams from historically Black colleges and universities competed on the basis of their knowledge at the Honda Campus All-Star Classic in Orlando FL. The final four competition was as intense as the basketball classic, and Black America’s best and brightest strutted their intellectual stuff as confidently as star basketball players strut their gamesmanship.

Making of the Chicano movement revisited – lessons from the Chicano movement of 1968 – Column
Twenty-eight years ago, on March 3, 1968, more than a thousand Mexican-American students walked out of Abraham Lincoln High School and marched through the streets of East Los Angeles, California. Later in the day, several thousand more of them walked out of five other predominantly Mexican-American high schools — and, by day’s end, more than 10,000 had joined the strike.

Over there: exchange programs and colleges seek to send minority students abroad – US education programs
In some communities, foreign travel is viewed as a rite of passage to round out the college experience. But far too few African Americans are taking advantage of the opportunity to Broaden their horizons in the world classroom for reasons that include lack of access to information about opportunities, limited funds, language restrictions and concentration in fields that are not targeted for foreign exchange programs.

Chicano studies: forging identity – development of Chicano studies as a discipline

Building Aztlan – resurgence of Chicano activism on campus
Some Chicano scholars say the beginning of the Chicano activist movement was the defense of Tenochtitlan (now Mexico City) in 1521, which pitted the indigenous Mexican population against Spanish invaders. Others define it as the end of the Mexican-American War in 1848, when Mexico lost half of its territory to the United States and Mexican residents became, as one scholar put it, “strangers in their own land.”

Building the village: one scientist at a time – university professor’s program for minority high school students
When Dr. Billy Joe Evans was in high school, his parents couldn’t pay for the exam that would permit him to attend college early. So one of his teachers paid. “That’s the kind of commitment we need from the village,” he says, alluding to the African proverb that “it takes a village to raise a child.”

Back to the ‘schoolhouse.’ – James Hood returns to University of Alabama for a doctorate degree – Recruitment & Retention
When James Hood integrated the University of Alabama under the watchful eye of a national television audience in 1963, education was the farthest career from his mind. He was planning to earn a degree, enter a seminary and become a minister. More than three decades later, Hood has returned to the university where he and Vivian Malone, the other Black student who enrolled with him, defied then Gov. George Wallace’s pledge to prevent desegregation efforts to earn a doctorate degree and to continue to nurture his love of education. That love has been focused for many years on community college education.
