...these instances. Implicit in the assumption that black students do not belong at Harvard is the archaic idea that black people are incapable of laying claim to the Harvard legacy, both real and mythologized.

...remarkably tame. Boring even. But the audience was rapt. "In the eyes of the law all citizens are equal.

It probably retailed for $25 not three months ago. "That's a good, basic summer shirt," says Stevenson approvingly when I show her my purchase. I leave the store with a smile, pleased that my choice has passed muster with a pro. But for $7.50, it really doesn't matter. At this price, there are no fashion victims...
