Race And The University

In 1967, George Henderson, the son of uneducated Alabama sharecroppers, accepted a full-time professorship at the University of Oklahoma, despite his mentor's warning to avoid the "redneck school in a backward state." Henderson became the university's third African American professor, a hire that seemed to suggest the dissolving of racial divides. Capturing what was perhaps the most tumultuous era in the history of American higher education, Race and the University includes valuable recollections of former student activists who helped transform the University of Oklahoma into one of the nation's most diverse college campuses. 9780806146553 0806146559 0 BOOK African American college students NOT_MATURE http://books.google.com/books/content?id=Mfp0oAEACAAJ&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=5&source=gbs_api en
