Published during the emergence of Black Studies as an academic discipline, this volume records the discussions of a 1968 Yale symposium organized by the Black Student Alliance at Yale. Students, scholars, and community voices debated the place of Black history and culture within the university and the relationship between education and social change.

Contributors include Harold Cruse, Nathan Hare, Maulana Ron Karenga, Martin Kilson, David Brion Davis, and McGeorge Bundy. Their differing perspectives preserve the urgency and intellectual disagreements surrounding the creation of Black Studies programs.

This early paperback edition is a significant document of American educational and cultural history. Its provenance from Everett Hoagland’s estate adds a connection to the personal library of an American poet and professor.
