Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
Comedy starring Eddie Murphy. An African prince (Murphy) is
dissatisfied with his luxurious life and unimpressed with the
subservient bride his parents have chosen for him. So, along with
his faithful manservant (Arsenio Hall), he travels to New York with
hopes of finding the woman of his dreams. When he arrives he takes
a job in a burger bar, hoping to meet someone who will love him for
himself and not his money. But despite his eagerness to learn the
customs of this strange new land, the comic culture shocks keep
coming thick and fast.
Richard P. McCormick has chronicled the black student protest
movement at Rutgers University, from the 1960s to today. He
examines the forces that produced the protest movement, the tactics
that were employed, and the qualified gains that were achieved. He
tells us about demonstrations, building occupations, committee
hearings, and countless meetings, but he also paints portraits of
the many student leaders who mobilized protest. This is the story
of a lot of pain, some blunders, and some successes. In the
mid-sixties, the University established committees to recruit black
students and to add more blacks to the faculty. These efforts
produced only modest results. By 1968, there were still not enough
black students on campus, but there were enough to create a
political presence for the first time. They were committed to
acting against the racism they perceived within the University. To
respond to their protests, in March 1969 the Board of Governors
passed a dramatically new and controversial policy to encourage
disadvantaged students who lived in Camden, Newark, and New
Brunswick to apply to Rutgers, where they would take
college-preparatory classes as unmatriculated students, and then
enter Rutgers as matriculated students. This program, never very
successful, lasted only two years. Unrest did not end with the
sixties. During the seventies, black students sporadically voiced
protests against what they perceived to be an unsupportive
environment. During the eighties, black enrollment actually
declined, as did the black graduation rate. In conclusion,
McCormick points to the effort that has been made but even more to
the effort that still needs to be made and the social cost of
ignoring the problem.
