Article "Two Students Discuss The Life Of A One Percent Minority"

The article, "Two Students Discuss The Life Of A One Percent Minority" published by The Collegian on January 18th, 1973, interviews two black students, Stanley Davis and Belinda Carr, on their University of Richmond experience. Stanley Davis was the only black, non-athlete living in the Richmond College dorms, and Belinda Carr is the first black student living in the Westhampton College dorm. At the time, UR had less than one percent black students enrolled, no full time black faculty or administrators, and one part-time black faculty member. The students cited the lack of social life for black students, the high cost of tuition, lack of black faculty and administrators, and poor recruitment of minorities as the major problems UR faced in attracting more black students and in pleasing the ones they already had.
