Just a natural extension of all this crap. Everything historical, traditional or Western is racist.

When you're stuck in the past, there can be no future.
It's like the movie Groundhog Day.

Will there be a separate water fountain for us at the formal? Other students chimed in asking...
I would have have responded “Do you want there to be one?”

If only these academic parvenus understood that it was rock’n’roll in the 50s that opened the hearts of white and black young people to overcome the barriers set by earlier generations. The music led the way.

Perfect photo to illustrate how the white kids sought out the black kids through music.

Maybe they should make it a Soul Train dance instead.

Harvard is above the Mason-Dixon line. Was there any official (as opposed to sub rosa) segregation up there during the 1950s, i.e., separate public accommodations?

Were there separate drinking fountains in Boston as there were in Alabama and Georgia? Who knew?

They could just go with a groovy 1970s theme.
