Black Domers tells the compelling story of racial integration at
the University of Notre Dame in the post-World War II era. In a
series of seventy-five essays, beginning with the first
African-American to graduate from Notre Dame in 1947 to a member of
the class of 2017 who also served as student body president, we can
trace the trials, tribulations, and triumphs of the
African-American experience at Notre Dame through seven decades.
Don Wycliff and David Krashna's book is a revised edition of a 2014
publication. With a few exceptions, the stories of these graduates
are told in their own words, in the form of essays on their
experiences at Notre Dame. The range of these experiences is broad;
joys and opportunities, but also hardships and obstacles, are
recounted. Notable among several themes emerging from these essays
is the importance of leadership from the top in successfully
bringing African-Americans into the student body and enabling them
to become fully accepted, fully contributing members of the Notre
Dame community. The late Rev. Theodore Hesburgh, president of the
university from 1952 to 1987, played an indispensable role in this
regard and also wrote the foreword to the book. This book will be
an invaluable resource for Notre Dame graduates, especially those
belonging to African-American and other minority groups,
specialists in race and diversity in higher education, civil rights
historians, and specialists in race relations.
