Abstract

Integration by Evasion

This article describes experiences of a group of first black students in a white university in the U.S. The integration of traditionally all-white colleges in this the U.S. began ten years ago. But despite the chaos and hullabaloo, despite the African-American directors and African-American black assistant dean's, things didn't change much since that September in the early sixties when a handful of African-American students became anomalies on white students university campuses. On their part the African-American students helped the university maintain its sell-deception. But being the first African-American students at a white university was not easy; they had many difficulties. But they thought of them as specific and individual; nobody seemed to have heard of institutionalized racism.
