### Student unions

African-American Student Union • Black American Forum • Black Student Union • Coalition of Racial Equality

**Armstrong Parker House** is one of the residential housing dorms at Winchester University. It houses predominantly most of the black students that attend the university and serves as one of the central settings for the indie film *Dear White People* as well as the Netflix adaption series of the same name.

## History

The Armstrong-Parker House is well known to be the house for many of the black students on the campus of Winchester. After a town hall protest and despite the residents' movements to prevent the house from intergrating, the university has moved to place more nonblack students into the house.

Upon its first establishment, Armstrong-Parker House housed predominantly Irish and Italian students. As times shifted, it became the house for Black students, though backlash and tensions arose when Douglas Hancock published an article in the Independent over speculation.

Years later, Armstrong-Parker would be the only house to face a pending decision to be integrated, a decision influenced by alumni Hancock. Though the Black Student Union attempt to waive petitions and protests to stop this, the fire that burned Davis House drives former residents to move into Armstrong-Parker, which creates more tension to the drastic changes.

## Trivia

* This house could be named after jazz composers Charlie Parker, Jr. and Louis Armstrong.

Dear White People (radio)

*Not to be confused with **Dear Right People**.*

“*Dear White People is a misnomer. My show is meant to articulate the feelings of a misrepresented group outside the majority.*”
—Samantha White[src]

**Dear White People** is the radio podcast show, hosted by Samantha White, at Winchester University in the indie film from which the name originated and its Netflix adaption series with the same name. The controversies surrounding the title and content of the show are a driving factor in many important plot points and conflicts. Sam's purpose in creating the show was to point out both major and minor racist incidents on campus.

The show is popular enough to draw criticism from the humor/satire publication Pastiche.

## History

The idea for this show most likely came from banter between Coco Conners and Samantha White when they were friends. The two would exchange comments with the phrase "Dear white people..." followed by a clever quip about the ignorance of white people.
