Are there actually any blacks in Ithaca - other than the occasional student or faculty member?

I've never been there - but the town strikes me as chockful of guilt-ridden white liberals.

Hope they go ahead and do this. From what I have heard about Ithaca this would be welcomed. Next they can name their city hall after Josep Stalin. Maybe they'll want to rename Cornell University, Lenin College.

Yes. There have always been black people in Ithaca.
