Student organizers said the event, called Black Commencement 2017, is the first universitywide ceremony for black students at Harvard, and is designed to celebrate their unique struggles and achievements at an elite institution that has been grappling with its historic ties to slavery.
quote:
The ceremony for black students was created during a period of heightened activism related to racism on college campuses, and in the country at large — from the Black Lives Matter movement to the increased focus on “micro-aggressions,” passing comments that seem to trivialize or marginalize the experiences of minorities.

Do they disagree with Brown v. Board and Plessy?

to celebrate their unique struggles
I'm sure the people in the hood would love to struggle like that.
This shite is old. (not the article, the "we're black so we struggle no matter what sentiment)

Something doesn't add up. It's probably like Harvard-Worcester. Their answer to LSU-Eunice

Separate but equal is sounding more and more appealing.

You'd be surprised but a good bit of negros didn't wanna integrate.

I look forward to hearing of their accomplishments working at all black companies post Bladuation.
Keep in touch, Bladuates.

Christ almighty. I dropped out of high school and joined the army but I'm in the head of Harvard students.

Just goes to show that you don't have to be intelligent to go to Harvard.

I am not sure how that is even slightly acceptable. I suppose that if it is also ok to have a "whites only" graduation, then it would be ok...but we know how that would be perceived.
