Racism at Ursinus College

It is baffling that the first black women to graduated from Ursinus only forty-five years ago. The first black man graduated in 1956-- seventeen years beforehand. Not only does this highlight a racial bias on campus, but a gender bias is certainly a factor in the delayed progress of black women at Ursinus College.
