Recruitment and retention of students of color at Ursinus College
In this newspaper article, the author writes about the initial treatment that black students being admitted to Ursinus were facing. In specific, he argues about the age of the student and the rights that they have earned and continue to earn. However, Jackson talks about how to more effectively recruit black students, whom recieve a large white shock when they come to an administration like Ursinus. Additionally, Jackson emphasizes that the institution not only "lure" black students into their institution, but that they also carve a path to a degree for prospective black students. He talks about the necessity of the student in general to not stagnate, and to continue to make themselves better off. He lastly mentions programs like Upward Bound that would help the culturally deprived and disadvantaged black students.

The Black Stereotype - A Dead Era
Recruitment and retention of students of color at Ursinus College
In this article of the Ursinus Weekly, Byron Jackson goes into small detail about the movement for student rights. The article attempts to bridge the gap between the acquisition of student rights, and the striving of black people towards their deserved place in society. Essentially, Byron Jackson tries to debunk the idea that black students fighting for their rights are all Black Nationalists. Simply put, the scenario described had involved Black Nationalists fighting for their rights under the guise of being students. However, Jackson attempts to falsify this claim, because as he states "each individual black person is his own person." In other words, Black Student Activism had been given a bad look as it related to black peoples movement in general towards equality, this stereotype reached black students, and Jackson here attempts to remove it. This would effect black students for generations, as they would be seen as parts of the Black Power movement, taking away from their fight for individual freedom.
