On the morning of February 13, 1969, members of Duke University's
Afro-American Society barricaded themselves inside the Allen
administration building. That evening, police were summoned to
clear the building, firing tear gas at students in the melee that
followed. When it was over, nearly twenty people were taken to the
hospital, and many more injured. In Point of Reckoning, Theodore D.
Segal narrates the contested fight for racial justice at Duke from
the enrollment of the first Black undergraduates in 1963 to the
events that led to the Allen Building takeover and beyond. Segal
shows that Duke's first Black students quickly recognized that the
university was unwilling to acknowledge their presence or fully
address its segregationist past. By exposing the tortuous dynamics
that played out as racial progress stalled at Duke, Segal tells
both a local and national story about the challenges that
historically white colleges and universities throughout the country
have faced and continue to face.
