Poussaint has also written about civil rights organizations. He is a member of People United to Save Humanity, a group whose goals include helping minority youths in high school, and he is on the advisory board of the Council for Interracial Books and the Mental and Law Project...
...that time I was taking a course in English composition with Charles Townsend Copeland, better known as Copey, whose genial, sometimes crusty, habit it was to bring outsiders into his classroom, usually without notice to his students. The idea was to shake us up; an element of surprise was part of the process. Copey styled himself Harvard's "reader-in-ordinary." When he gave his readings, in a dry Maine accent and a gravelly baritone, he required absolute silence from an intimidated audience. He was about as 18th-century as a man could be; his academic life largely centered...
...consistent structural flaw in the film. In one sequence Robertson tells a story about an old harmonica player he met with Helm years ago, then Scorsese cuts to Paul Butterfield wailing away on his harmonica. Helm speaks of the great Southern blues men-and presto, we see Muddy Waters (whose rendition of "Mannish Boy" is one of the high points of the film). The idea is a good one, but its execution is a little too smooth, too obvious...

For many readers, the most interesting section of the book will be the chapter dealing with the conflicts in education. As a college president during the Red-hunting years whose opposition to McCarthy gained him national prominence, and as one whose career eventually foundered on the Harvard Strike of 1969 Pusey's account of these years possess an intrinstic interest, less for what he actually says than for what we know of his role. Here again Pusey provides a general overview...
