Price: $310.00 Code: 1313 |
Examines the experience of black students on predominantly white college campuses and
how they cope with feelings of alienation, frustration, and discrimination. The students
speak frankly about their `minority' status on campus, the persistence of racist attitudes
among fellow students and instructors, as well as such issues as racial separatism,
integration, black studies programs, sexism, and even prejudices within their own
community based on language, behavior, hair and dress styles.
Directed by Jerald B. Harkness
