...grow increasingly black, city private schools are thriving-as select enclaves for ever brighter whites. Many such schools are seeking more Negroes, but in New York City, for example, private-school enrollment is still only about 3% black. Now one unusual school is showing others how to break the racial barriers...
Trowbridge, 33, a private-school product of Philadelphia's Chestnut Hill Academy and Vermont's Putney School, shuns the liberal notion that racial differences should be ignored. Manhattan Country's Negro pupils, most of whom are from poverty areas in East Harlem, may wear "Afro" haircuts with pride, knowing that their white classmates from high-rise apartment buildings cannot match them. No one pretends that there are no racial tensions at the school-but whenever a child tosses a racial slur, it becomes a topic of freewheeling discussion in which teachers lead the students in discovering...
...children are in six classes, ranging from nursery school to a combined fourth and fifth grade. A $60,000 grant from the Kettering Foundation helped start the school, but despite scattered donations from some 30 foundations, it is hard-pressed for the scholarship funds it needs to retain its racial mix.

Large Hatred. It is Cleaver's thesis-as it is James Baldwin's, among others-that the root cause of racial prejudice in America is sexual. He argues that as a result of the Negro's years of servility, the black male has been systematically robbed of his masculinity. Thus "castrated," the Negro also has been denied his development as a positive intellectual and social force. There is nothing really very new in Cleaver's analysis or black militant ideology. There is the familiar castigating of white liberals, the spewing forth of raw and undigested hate...
