Title
Black Praxis Vol VI No. 2 “Letters” April-May p. 2, 7
Description
Describes incidents of racism during the winter term to students who were not on campus. The college demolished a snow sculpture made to memorialize Black people who had died in South Africa. Additionally, at a Dartmouth v. Boston University hockey game, two students dressed as “Indians” started the “Scalp ‘em” fight song. Black and Indigenous students responded by painting the College’s snow sculpture black and red in protest. Minority students were then threatened by their peers, leading to the College declaring a moratorium on classes. The article includes fourteen demands directed at the College administration on behalf of minority students.
