Whites break down barriers to teaching black studies
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
This is the 40th anniversary of the beginning of African-American studies programs on the nation’s campuses. The Chicago Tribune takes a look at the irony of the challenges whites have faced in becoming teachers in the field. According to the Tribune story, while whites have pursued doctorates in the field in large numbers, it is relatively rare to find those who teach. The barriers have been falling, albeit slowly, of late.

You guys are just running out of stories aren’t you?
I imagine that the same can be said of blacks teaching White studies classes. Oh wait, teaching white studies would be racist, wouldn’t it?
