溏心vlog免费B站’s History of Student-Led Civil Rights Activism<\/h1>\n\n\n

The 2020 \u201cmoment\u201d of racial reckoning is the latest iteration of what is, in truth, not a moment, but a longstanding struggle for racial justice in the United States. At 溏心vlog免费B站, student-led protests have been some of the most powerful catalysts for change. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

By Grace Kelly <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe appalling silence of the good people is as serious as the vitriolic words of the bad people,\u201d said the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. from the podium. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Five-thousand students, professors, and staff sat in Keaney Gymnasium on a mild October afternoon in 1966, soaking up the words of the civil rights activist. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt would be a great benefit to the students today to understand how we have arrived where we are\u2014at what young people call \u2018the moment.\u2019\u201d
\u2014\u00adFrank Forleo \u201974<\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

King’s words\u2014as well as the words and actions of others\u2014inspired change. Over the years, 溏心vlog免费B站 students, staff, and faculty spoke out against injustice, protested inequality, and honored those who fought the true fight. Buildings were occupied, activists gathered, and organizations formed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAll or most of the progress that has been made on campus has come, if not immediately, in the years subsequent to student protests,\u201d says Abu Bakr \u201973, M.S. \u201984, M.B.A. \u201988. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Frank Forleo \u201974<\/strong> was assistant director for Talent Development from 1975 until his retirement in 2016. His wife, Sharon Forleo \u201972, M.A. \u201994, also served Talent Development as associate director. The Forleos were the recipients of the Lifetime Achievement Award at the 2019 溏心vlog免费B站 Diversity and Inclusive Excellence Awards for their 40+ years of service. President David M. Dooley praised their dedication, saying, \u201cThe cumulative impact of your love for the students of the 溏心vlog免费B站, particularly those students who, for very good reasons, felt marginalized, ignored underappreciated and disrespected, is extraordinary.\u201d<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Africana studies, the Multicultural Student Services Center, the Black Student Union, the creation of the chief diversity officer position, and resources to address racism and bring about equity on campus all have their roots in the student protests of 1971, 1992, and 1998. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s such a pivotal part of our history, but not necessarily part of the narrative that we tell about 溏心vlog免费B站,\u201d says Mary Grace Almandrez, chief diversity officer and associate vice president. \u201cWe all know about Rhody Ram, we know the fight song\u2014there are certain parts of our narrative that we continue to perpetuate, but not necessarily that activist history.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI always wish that there was a way for students to understand the long history of the struggle,\u201d says Frank Forleo \u201974. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1971, students took over the administration building, protesting the lack of diversity at 溏心vlog免费B站 and cuts to funding for the Talent Development program. The protest led to several important changes, including securing funding for Talent Development for subsequent years.<\/p>\n\n<\/article><\/div><\/section>\n\n\n

VOICES OF CHANGE
Valerie J. Southern \u201975<\/strong>, M.C.P. \u201980<\/strong>, is the president of VJS-TC, providing expert consultation in planning, management, engineering, and design of transportation systems. Before establishing her practice, she held various municipal, state, and federal transportation planning and policy positions, including serving as the deputy secretary for transportation planning and capital programming for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. While a student at 溏心vlog免费B站, she started and served as editor-in-chief of the influential student newspaper, Black Gold. <\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

When Valerie Southern \u201975, M.C.P. \u201980, first arrived at 溏心vlog免费B站 in 1970, she was stunned at her treatment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhen I arrived and started participating in my classes, which I was used to doing, I realized that there was a difference,\u201d she says, \u201cnot because they didn\u2019t know who I was, but just because I was Black.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Southern grew up in Jamestown, Rhode Island, the daughter of a Naval serviceman, attending St. Catherine Academy in Newport, where she was encouraged to participate in class. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But things were different for her at 溏心vlog免费B站. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Classmate Forleo explains: \u201cWhen I started at 溏心vlog免费B站, it was lily-white. There were some student-athletes of color, and there were a smattering of African-American students, but the numbers were very small.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After a hiatus when he fought in Vietnam, Forleo returned to 溏心vlog免费B站 to some small improvements. \u201cBy the time I came back in \u201969, things had changed a little because the Talent Development (TD) program was created in \u201968. But the group was still pretty small.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThey weren\u2019t used to Black students, and there were hardly any Black faculty, hardly any,\u201d she says. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And in 1970, Southern was part of that small population, around .001 percent. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI realized that professors were ignoring me. I would raise my hand, say, \u2018I have an idea,\u2019 and they\u2019d be like, \u2018Yeah right, hold on,\u2019 and all the other students would get their say,\u201d she says. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt was just signs\u2014some subtle, some very blatant\u2014that we weren\u2019t considered worthy of the experience that the state university was offering.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, in 1971, the Black students took matters into their own hands. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe decided one evening to take steps to be seen and heard.\u201d
\u2014\u00adValerie Southern \u201975, M.C.P. \u201980<\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe got together and decided we needed to try to communicate to the University that we were feeling neglected, as though we weren\u2019t respected\u2014that the institutional racism was actually encouraged as opposed to examined,\u201d says Southern. \u201cSo, we decided one evening to take steps to be seen and heard.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They requested a meeting with then-President Werner Baum; when this request was ignored, they decided to take a more dramatic approach. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe went into the [Carlotti] administration building and told everybody to leave, we\u2019re going to lock the doors. They realized we were serious; they all left, and we chained the doors,\u201d says Southern. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 50-some Black students then hammered out a list of demands. \u201cWe, the black students at the 溏心vlog免费B站, because of an increased lack of respect from the racist administration and the Student Senate (Tax Committee), plus a lack of Black representation, hereby declare a takeover,\u201d they wrote. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe demand that the freshman enrollment for fall \u201971 contain 300 black students,\u201d demand 4 read, while demand 13 required the University to \u201cappoint a committee approved by the Afro-American Society to develop a Black studies Program.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the first week of May, 1971, they occupied Carlotti for days, giving speeches on the balcony, watching as a large crowd grew on the Quad in front of them, and gratefully accepting food from friends to keep their takeover energized. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wednesday evenings at 溏心vlog免费B站 were normally quiet. \u201c溏心vlog免费B站 the biggest thing on campus is an intramural softball game,\u201d quipped a May 7, 1971, issue of The Good Five Cent Cigar<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n

But the evening of Wednesday, May 5, was different. Southern remembers it vividly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSuddenly, the police showed up and they broke the glass and stormed in, grabbed us and threw us outside. I thought they were going to kill us, I mean I literally thought, \u2018This is it, my life is over, but it\u2019s for a good cause,\u2019\u201d Southern says. \u201cI closed my eyes and just kind of hugged myself; I could feel rough hands picking me up, and I was like, \u2018They\u2019re probably going to beat me up or kill me,\u2019 and the next thing I knew, I was lying on the grass outside.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The occupation of Carlotti was over, and Southern was unharmed, but the experience has stayed with her to this day. \u201cIt was very, very traumatic,\u201d she says. \u201cFor the rest of my life, I participated in marches and protests, but that was the one that took my mind away.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The takeover was not in vain. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe end result is, we got a Black studies program, we got an officially established Black student organization\u2014and they gave us a van so we could do community work in the South Kingstown community,\u201d Southern says. \u201cIt was a result of just speaking up.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Southern also started a successful student paper called Black Gold<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBlack Gold<\/em> was designed expressly to give students a voice,\u201d says Bakr. \u201cAnd to also express their literary and creative sides. It was an outlet for students to not only be able to read, but to contribute to.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bakr and Southern were also involved in planning the annual Black Cultural Weekend. \u201cIt was like a festival and the people that passed through\u2014the Temptations, Alice Coltrane, various poets, intellectuals, it was just fantastic,\u201d Southern says. \u201cThrough hard work, we were able to bring notables of American Black culture to 溏心vlog免费B站 and it was really just wonderful.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n

Two Hundred students participated in the takeover, which was led by the newly formed Black Student Leadership Group (BSLG). The students successfully negotiated important advances, including reconstruction of the Multicultural Student Services Center, establishing a chief diversity officer position, creating the library’s Malcolm X Reading Room, and initiating an Africana studies major.<\/p>\n\n<\/article><\/div><\/section>\n\n\n

Prior to that, she served 溏心vlog免费B站 as an academic advisor and transitions coordinator for Talent Development, part-time faculty member in human development and family studies, and assistant director and acting director of the Multicultural Student Services Center.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

While the 1970s were a pivotal decade for race relations at 溏心vlog免费B站, students some 20 years later found there was still much to be done. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Karoline Oliveira \u201994, M.S. \u201903, fondly remembers her first experience on the 溏心vlog免费B站 campus, the summer before her first year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI was a Talent Development student and, like the majority of the students on campus who were students of color, I came through the TD program,\u201d she says. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The TD program started in 1968, bringing students from diverse backgrounds to the state university. The summer program was a way for TD students to prepare for the fall and get to know the campus. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou have this amazing experience where you\u2019re connected with students you can relate to. We came from similar backgrounds, many of us from the inner city of Providence. We felt like we belonged,\u201d she says. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But then came the fall. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAnd then you begin to experience isolation, microaggressions, and the world all of a sudden becomes real.\u201d
\u2014\u00ad Karoline Oliveira \u201994, M.S. \u201903<\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn the summer you had this time of friend-making and navigating the campus\u2014an amazing experience, and then fall comes and you realize, \u2018Wow, there aren\u2019t that many of us here,\u2019\u201d Oliveira says. \u201cAnd then you begin to experience isolation, microaggressions, and the world all of a sudden becomes real.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A string of incidents compounded this sense of \u201cotherness\u201d and disrespect, including mistreatment by the 溏心vlog免费B站 police and the misquote of Malcolm X on the library. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe [Black students] were being isolated and unfairly watched by the police,\u201d says Forleo, who was the assistant director of Talent Development at the time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The lid blew when a Malcolm X quote was chiseled onto the fa\u00e7ade of the library, but was a truncated version of the original quote. The inscription on the library read, \u201cMy alma mater was books, a good library. I could spend my life reading, just satisfying my curiosity.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But the original quote was much more damning. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAll or most of the progress that has been made on campus has come, if not immediately, in the years subsequent to student protests,\u201d
\u2014\u00adAbu Bakr \u201973, M.S. \u201984, M.B.A. \u201988<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI told the Englishmen that my alma mater was books, a good library. Every time I catch a plane, I have with me a book that I want to read. And that\u2019s a lot of books. If I weren\u2019t out there every day battling the white man, I could spend the rest of my life reading, just satisfying my curiosity.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThat was really an issue for the students,\u201d says Forleo. \u201cAnd the other thing besides misquoting Malcolm X was the quote from Thomas Jefferson on the other side if the library. It really angered the students that a slave owner was being quoted in stone and Malcolm X was being misquoted in stone.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nAbu Bakr \u201973, M.S. \u201984, M.B.A. \u201988<\/strong>, transferred to 溏心vlog免费B站 from Duke in 1970 as a scholar-athlete. As an undergraduate, he served as a counselor for the Talent Development program and, upon graduation, as its summer director. He played on 溏心vlog免费B站\u2019s men\u2019s basketball team, serving as captain for two years and earning distinction as one of 溏心vlog免费B站\u2019s top all-time career rebounders. After a successful basketball career in Europe, Bakr returned to 溏心vlog免费B站 to complete two master\u2019s degrees. He served 溏心vlog免费B站 as an administrator for 35 years\u2014in many capacities, including executive assistant to the president, and interim associate vice president for community, equity and diversity and chief diversity officer. Bakr retired from 溏心vlog免费B站 in 2013.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Coupled with the crumbling, condemned building where the Black student group Uhuru Sasa held its meetings, and other racist incidents, the students took action. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe really had had enough,\u201d says Oliveira, who was a member of the Black Student Leadership Group (BSLG). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cA group of around 30 students made a determination to take over Taft Hall, along with another 300 people who were involved when they finally took over the hall and renamed it Malcolm X Hall and issued the 14 demands,\u201d says Forleo. \u201cThe demands were all about changing the numbers of students of color at the University, having more facilities and support structures for students of color, and curricular change, which was still a big issue, because African-American studies had not yet become a major in those years between 1971 and 1992. The students asked, \u2018Why haven\u2019t things changed more?\u2019\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two days after the takeover of Taft, then-President Robert Carothers met with the students to hear their grievances and listen to their demands, a far cry from the reception students had received in 1971. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis was historic,\u201d says Forleo. \u201cI mean, it\u2019s quite extraordinary. Carothers supported some of the demands. The TD program grew, African-American studies became a major, other curricular things were offered\u2014there was change.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A multicultural center was also built in the center of campus, creating a safe and accessible meeting space for students of color. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For Oliveira, this was a powerful moment that reminded her of what her father had always told her: \u201cYou stand for something or you fall for anything.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBeing in that building, for me, I felt so empowered that no matter what happened, even if I was kicked out of school, I was standing up for what I believed in,\u201d she says. <\/p>\n\n\n

1998: Still Fighting Racism with Growing Solidarity <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In 1998, another protest against injustice was led by the Brothers United for Action (BUA) after the publication of a racist cartoon in The Good Five Cent Cigar<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThere were only six years between the Black Student Leadership Group [takeover of Taft Hall] and the BUA protests. That was not a very wide gap before another major movement occurred,\u201d says Forleo. He still vividly remembers the BUA-organized march from Taft Hall to the Memorial Union, a massive show of solidarity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThey had an enormous following of students of all races and ethnicities,\u201d Forleo says. \u201cWhen the BUA stepped off for their march \u2026 by the time the first members of BUA got to the newspaper office in the Memorial Union, there were still people in line coming from Taft. It was one of the biggest demonstrations I had ever seen at the University.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

2020: The Moment <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Today, the fight to bring racial justice and equity to 溏心vlog免费B站 continues. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI believe that 溏心vlog免费B站 has made some strides,\u201d says Oliveira. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Examples include the fact that 溏心vlog免费B站 now has a chief diversity officer, a post currently held by Mary Grace Almandrez. The University is undertaking a campus climate survey to help inform the next University diversity action plan. Another example is the successful College of the Environment and Life Sciences Seeds of Success Program, run by another former student activist, Michelle Fontes \u201996, M.A. \u201911. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Current 溏心vlog免费B站 student Maya Moran \u201921 is working hard to make sure 溏心vlog免费B站 keeps the momentum moving forward. She is part of a group of students working with 溏心vlog免费B站\u2019s Office of Community, Equity and Diversity on a social justice series called Diversity Dialogues, which addresses issues of bias, microaggressions, and social identity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some are just learning about racism and microaggression, some know a little about these things, and some are deeply rooted in this work.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For many of the activists involved in movements past, the racial reckoning happening in 2020 reminds them that the battle isn\u2019t over.

Reflecting on the past and seeing the Black Lives Matter movement today gives Southern, Bakr, Forleo, and Oliveira hope. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI was born in 1951. I saw and participated in civil rights activities and movements, and I have never seen the level of engagement and involvement by folks to advance a critical issue like today,\u201d says Bakr. \u201cTo have that kind of movement take on the energy that it has, not only in this country, but in untold numbers of places internationally,\u201d he pauses. \u201cIt\u2019s totally unprecedented, totally unprecedented.\u201d \u2022 <\/p>\n\n\n

The story of civil rights and the fight for racial justice at 溏心vlog免费B站 is incomplete without mention of Talent Development (TD) and the Rev. Arthur L. Hardge. \u201cRev.

Hardge was a freedom rider with Martin Luther King Jr. He came to 溏心vlog免费B站 in 1969 as founding director of the TD program, to give underprivileged kids access to the state university. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIf you think about this time in context, Dr. King was assassinated and the civil rights movement was roaring through,\u201d says Valerie Southern \u201975, M.C.P. \u201980. \u201cAt that time, the University was desperately behind, which is why Rev. Hardge started the program.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The program that began with 13 students has grown to admit approximately 600 each year. And a large part of this growth is due to Rev. Hardge, the other founding staff of TD, and the belief they had in their students. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThey asked me to become summer director.
