...H?? doesn’t stand for “Harlem.” In case you haven’t noticed, there aren’t very many blacks here at Harvard. In fact, unless your name is Kenan Professor of Government Harvey C.

...H?? doesn’t stand for “hopeless.” The situation with the professors of the Afro-American studies department can still be rectified. Ours is a community that prides itself on its “liberal” views and multiple avenues for dialogue. Let us practice what we preach. We entreat both parties to continue working to close what is now known simply as “the rift...
