Appropos question by Steve G. and Martha, and related replies, I have long wondered what real purpose is served by celebrating [and overdoing]pretensions to accepting stuff clumped under ‘Diversity.’ The rush to create black history and literature courses may furnish comfort food to a few, but I’m not sure. There still seems to be much segregation on campuses. The ideal would be that HISTORY studies would not require artificial divisions into narrow fields. I would be good to hear from a black student who has experienced this and an opinion about its perceived value.
