We have only to look around us to see that institutions like Harvard still exist mainly for the sons and daughters of the white upper middle classes. We have grown up with the civil rights struggle, and we know that our black brethren still face indifference, abuse, or even death when they stand up for what we once naively thought were God-given rights.
