Black Studies in the University (From the Controversial Yale Conference)

Taken from back cover: This book is a record of the Precedent-shattering conference which took place at Yale in 1968. It represents the first comprehensive attempt to thrash out the intellectual and political issues connected with implementing a program of Afro-American studies. Conceived and organized by the Yale Black Student Alliance, the conference presented the views of a cross-section of Whites and Blacks: students, professors, militant community organizers, political leaders and social scientists. Angry, brilliant, incisive, their debate goes to the very heart of the basic issues confronting our racially divided society on the verge of violent confrontation. *Disclaimer notice* Please note the views opinions and comments found within are not those of the individual or business offering this book, but are being offered solely for the purpose of furthering ones education of the tensions held at the time this book was printed.
