During these reversals the strength of the field gradually wanes, reaches a minimum, and then begins building up again in the opposite direction, resulting in a switch of the north and south magnetic poles. Exactly what will happen this time, McDonald and Gunst are not prepared to say.

The black college can be an effective force in bringing the political change and social justice so desperately needed in their neighboring communities. These colleges are producing the people that are going to make that change happen. It would be tragic if those changes occur despite the role of the black college, rather than because...
