A forgotten migration: Black southerners, segregation scholarships, and the debt owed to public HBCUs / by Sanders, Crystalauthor.(CARDINAL)899535;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 209-222) and index."A Forgotten Migration tells the little-known story of 'segregation scholarships' awarded by states in the US South to Black students seeking graduate education in the pre-Brown v. Board of Education era. Under the Plessy v. Ferguson decision, decades earlier, Southern states could provide graduate opportunities for African Americans by creating separate but equal graduate programs at tax-supported Black colleges or by admitting Black students to historically white institutions. Most did neither and instead paid to send Black students out of state for graduate education. Crystal R. Sanders examines Black graduate students who relocated to the North, Midwest, and West to continue their education with segregation scholarships, revealing the many challenges they faced along the way. Students that entered out-of-state programs endured long and tedious travel, financial hardship, racial discrimination, isolation, and homesickness. With the passage of Brown in 1954, segregation scholarships began to wane, but the integration of graduate programs at southern public universities was slow. In telling this story, Sanders demonstrates how white efforts to preserve segregation led to the underfunding of public Black colleges, furthering racial inequality in American higher education"-- Provided by publisher.

Point of reckoning : the fight for racial justice at Duke University / by Segal, Theodore D.,1955-author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index.A Plantation System: Desegregation -- Like Bare Skin and Putting Salt on It: First Encounters -- Rights, as Opposed to Privileges: Race and Space -- We Were Their Sons and Daughters: Occupation of University House -- Hope Takes Its Last Stand: The Silent Vigil -- Humiliating to Plead for Our Humanity: Negotiations -- Now They Know, and They Ain't Gonna Do: Planning -- No Option to Negotiate: Confrontation -- We Shall Have Cocktails in the Gloaming: Aftermath -- Epilogue: Something Has to Change-2019, Fifty Years Later."Point of Reckoning provides a highly-detailed portrait of the evolving relationship between Duke University's black students and the university administration from the moment of desegregation through the end of the 1960s, showing the enormous influence Jim Crow racial attitudes had over how these students were perceived and treated. Theodore D. Segal examines the role that race played in how Duke faculty, administrators and trustees perceived and responded to the school's new black students and the black students' attempts to find their place at Duke. It takes the reader "inside" the evolving relationship between the black students and the university, telling the story in the words of the participants. The book explores the racial myths and justifications embraced by many at Duke who found change in race relations abhorrent, impolitic, inconvenient, or just uncomfortable"--

True gentlemen : the broken pledge of America's fraternities / by Hechinger, John(John Edward),author.(CARDINAL)355174;
"College fraternity culture has never been more embattled. Once a mainstay of campus life, fraternities are now subject to withering criticism for reinforcing white male privilege and undermining the lasting social and economic value of a college education. No fraternity embodies this problem more than Sigma Alpha Epsilon, a national organization with more than 15,000 undergraduate brothers spread over 230 chapters nationwide. While SAE enrollment is still strong, it has been pilloried for what John Hechinger calls "the unholy trinity of fraternity life": racism, deadly drinking, and misogyny. Hazing rituals have killed ten undergraduates in its chapters since 2005, and, in 2015, a video of a racist chant breaking out among its Oklahoma University members went viral. That same year, SAE was singled out by a documentary on campus rape, The Hunting Ground. Yet despite these problems and others, SAE remains a large institution with strong ties to Wall Street and significant political reach. In True Gentlemen, Hechinger embarks on a deep investigation of SAE and fraternity culture generally, exposing the vast gulf between its founding ideals and the realities of its impact on colleges and the world at large. He shows how national fraternities are reacting to a slowly dawning new reality, and asks what the rest of us should do about it. Should we ban them outright, or will they only be driven underground? Can an institution this broken be saved? With rare access and skillful storytelling, Hechinger draws a fascinating and necessary portrait of an institution in deep need of reform, and makes a case for how it can happen"--Includes bibliographical references (pages 259-286) and index.Part one.

To drink from the well : the struggle for racial equality at the nation's oldest public university / by Kapur, Geeta N.,1977-author.(CARDINAL)855670; Barber, William J.,II,1963-writer of introduction.(CARDINAL)408829;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 379-429).Foreword / by Rev. Dr. William Barber II -- New Hope Chapel Hill -- The Black Wall Street of America -- The Great Depression controversies -- Hot as blazes -- The University's daughter -- North Carolina's way out -- White people wake up -- Going up to Mount Sinai -- The Buzzard's roost -- Tired of trying to save the White man's soul -- Let freedom ring -- Turmoil, unrest, and struggle -- Epilogue."The University of North Carolina is the oldest public university in the US, with the cornerstone for the first dormitory, Old East, laid in 1793. At that ceremony, the enslaved people who would literally build that structure were not acknowledged; they were not even present. In fact, 158 years passed before Black students were admitted to this university in Chapel Hill, and it was another 66 years after that before students forcibly removed the long-criticized Confederate "Silent Sam" monument. Indeed, this university, revered in the state and the nation, has been entwined with white supremacy and institutional racism throughout its history-and the struggle continues today. To Drink from the Well: The Struggle for Racial Equality at the Nation's Oldest Public University explores the history of UNC by exposing the plain and uncomfortable truth behind the storied brick walkways, "historic" statuary, and picturesque covered well, the icon of the campus. Law professor and civil rights activist Geeta N. Kapur chronicles the racism within the university and traces its insidious effects on students, faculty, and even the venerable Tarheel sports programs. Kapur tells this story not as a historian, but as a citizen speaking to her fellow citizens. She relies on the historical record to tell her story, and where that record is lacking, she elaborates on that record, augmenting and deconstructing the standard chronology. Kapur explores both the Chapel Hill campus and a parallel movement in nearby Durham, where a growing Black middle class helped to create North Carolina Central University, a historically Black public university"--
