In the fall of 1959, Harvard recruited eighteen 'Negro' boys as an early form of affirmative action. Four years later they would graduate as African Americans. Some fifty years later, one of these trailblazing Harvard grads, Kent Garrett, began to reconnect with his classmates and explore their vastly different backgrounds, lives, and what their time at Harvard meant. Garrett and his partner Jeanne Ellsworth recount how these young men broke new ground. By the time they were seniors, they would have demonstrated against injustice, had lunch with Malcolm X, experienced heartbreak and the racism of academia, and joined with their African national classmates to fight for the right to form an exclusive Black students' group. Part journey into personal history, part group portrait, and part narrative history of the civil rights movement, this is the remarkable story of brilliant, singular boys whose identities were changed at and by Harvard, and who, in turn, changed Harvard. 610 20 $a Harvard University $x History $y 20th century. 610 20 $a Harvard University $x History $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a African American college students $z Cambridge. $z Cambridge. 650 0 $a African Americans $x Education (Higher) $z Cambridge. $z Cambridge. 650 0 $a Discrimination in higher education $z United States $x History $y 20th century. 655 7 $a Audiobooks. $2 lcgft 700 1 $a Ellsworth, Jeanne, $d 1951- $e author. 700 1 $a Fernandez, Peter Jay, $e narrator. 710 2 $a Recorded Books, Inc. 941 $a 1 945 $a cda 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20200402010452.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=49168CFC74A711EA8EBE956E97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
