Title
Black Praxis Vol. IV, No. 4 May, 1978 “Who’s the Dummy” p. 1
Description
Describes an incident where a cloth dummy meant to resemble a Black person was placed outside one of Dartmouth’s fraternity houses. The dummy was hung by a noose outside the fraternity during the College’s “Hums” event. When the dean of students was told about the incident, he excused it by saying “Nothing was meant by it” and that Black students should not be “so over sensitive to what was just a joke.”
