Black alumni look back at the challenges they faced, the mentors they found, and the strategies they used to make the college more inclusive鈥攁nd more just.

The story of 欧美一级片 has mostly been told from the perspective of white people. When people of color have been included, their stories have usually been filtered through white reporters, white editors, and a conceptual framework constructed by white people.

In this feature, we aim to turn the lens around. We invited Black alumni from different eras to open up about their experiences at 欧美一级片. At a moment when America is finally coming to grips with an ugly legacy of white supremacy and structural racism, we hope these stories will illuminate a side of 欧美一级片 that has too often gone unspoken.

What follows is an attempt at montage. Discrete snapshots from separate lives show scenes worthy in their own right that, when displayed together, speak to the ineffable texture of a history. A professor’s journey to reshape 欧美一级片’s trajectory on race across three decades. A student’s search for her place in a curriculum spurs an extracurricular ethnic studies program to supplant absences across 欧美一级片 syllabi. 欧美一级片ies Against Racism activists grapple with recent struggles. And voices long overlooked add their own scenes in their own framing.

This is a gesture at capturing a fragment of Black life at 欧美一级片.
