...Professor Kilson will have to put some emotion in his lectures to let the students know that he has a perspective from which they can view the black man's historical experience in a light perhaps many of them have not considered." A letter to the Crimson from Jeffrey P. Howard, '69, adds this thought: "It should be clear from this point forward that Kilson's views are not particularly black -- he seems to have much more in common with his old-line colleagues in the Government Department than with...
...Conner, exhausted from fourteen days and nights at the M.I.T. Student Center, left his sanctuary there to recuperate at the home of a sympathetic doctor, according to Jeffrey C.

I remain of the opinion that racial bigotry and anti-intellectualism motivate their criticism, and if to state this inflames the black critics of Social Sciences 5 then they ought to grow...
Whether all this adds up to a favorable or unfavourable "racial image" (whatever on earth that may be) I don't know. Frankly, I couldn't care less. I can say, however, that Jeffrey Howard is perfectly correct in remarking that "Kilson's views are not particularly black," if by this he means I resist anti-intellectualism and racial bigotry. Indeed, he could have said more: I despise racial bigots and the know-nothing mentality, and am rather proud of it. Martin Kilson Assistant Professor of Government
