First sentence: This book is one take on college and race.
Description: How different was it to be Black at an historically Black university versus a traditionally White one? Contains interviews with nearly sixty African-American men and women who either attended Northwestern University, a predominantly White school, or Howard University, a predominantly Black school, and reveals the intransigence of racism, the power of friendship, the difference of class inequality and the need for an identity that is stable and flexible.
