McHenry, founding editor of Black Issues Book Review and former editor of Ms. magazine, led a sit-in of 29 women while an undergraduate because she felt Radcliffe wasn’t making enough of an effort to recruit black women to be students.
She said the sit-in pushed Bunting to commit $5,000 to outreach efforts and to recruit a black administrator.
The two new restaurants—one at the Medical School’s Longwood Campus and the other housed at a graduate residence at 29 Garden Street—will provide both sit-in and take-out options.
Of those who staged the sit-in, 18 stayed until they were arrested Monday evening, Tanaka said. He said he was the only Harvard student to be charged.
The committee was convened in May 2001 by then-University President Neil L. Rudenstine in response to the PSLM living wage sit-in of Mass. Hall that year.
