The experiences of two blacks
who attended predominantly white
universities in tie North are told
in two current national magazines*
In the February Red book, Jan
Robinson tells what It's I ike to be
black and female at a school that
also
is predominantly male,
Princeton.
M iss Robinson was a 19-year -
old from Brooklyn, N. Y w h e n
she entered Princeton as a fresh
man in the fall of 1969.
Her conclusion in an epilogue
is: " I fu lly realize that what
ever I achieve and take back to
my community w ill be tie result
of may own efforts and my own
a b ility.
Not because I attended a pre
stigious school.
'Ivy League’ doesn’ t mean a
thing to many Blacks-what I may
have to offer does.”
In tiie March Esquire, w rite r J .
Anthony Lukas traces tie " f ir s t
23 years of Roy DeBerry from a
tin-roofed M ississippi shack to
the computer building at Brandeis
U niversity.”
DeBerry left Holly Springs,
M iss., with experience in voter
registration and the M ississippi
Freedom Democratic P arty.
H is
disenchantment
with
Brandeis led to his eventual lead
ershlp of the small group of
blacks that took over a university
building and submitted demands
to the president then, M o rris
Abrams.
DeBerry is quoted as w riting of
his experiences: "M any of us ap
pear to have taken Brandeis out of
the context of American society.
I think that we had naively as
sume! that over a period of time
of applying pressure Brandeis
would grant the 10 demands.
We were partly c o rre ct. She
would grant more than two thirds
of them ...If Brandeis would allow
blacks to select a d ire cto r ( of
black studies), that would mean a
redistribution of pow er- student
power and power in black people
to control the direction of their
lives.
Brandeis and the U S are very
much aware of this.
They
w ill -usfe «ny means
necessary in order to hold on to
this power.
It has to be broken..... ”
