We Were Part of the Problem and Didn’t Even Realize It

When I got to Princeton in 1962 my memory is that there were 5 blacks, and several of them were African princes or something like that.

We never even thought to protest or challenge the system; rather most of us wanted to become leaders in it.

When I go to Reunions now and see the diversity of the recently graduated classes, I applaud the changes Princeton has made and wish I had gone to a college with such diversity.
