This fall, there’s been a lot of talk and media coverage about the campus climate at the University of Nevada, Reno in light of several incidents of hate and bias on campus. Those have included graffiti of swastikas and flyers for a white nationalist group. A visit to campus by controversial conservative speaker Charlie Kirk also created an emotional stir . This week, for KUNR’s segment of Time & Place with Alicia Barber, we travel back to 1971, a period of the university’s history that was fraught with racial tension, when a group of students took a stand by sitting down. Only 33 Black students attended the University of Nevada, Reno prior to 1960. That number more than doubled in the sixties thanks to new federal support for minority and out-of-state students, and increased recruitment of Black athletes. Inspired by the founding of Black Student Unions, or BSUs, at other universities, a group of Nevada students formed their own BSU in 1968. Over the next few years, they brought

You've heard of white privilege, male privilege, and any number of other unearned advantages some of us are born with. But what about food privilege? University of Louisville graduate student Tyler Short got in touch with Team Strange Fruit after hearing our recent special about privilege. He says just like race, gender, and sexuality, access to food is often determined by circumstances of birth. In Louisville, that usually means geography. "Folks in the East End have disproportionate access to fresh and healthy food compared to folks in the West End," he says. "Food justice is a platform to overcome that historical problem." Tyler's scholarship focuses on food access issues, but his work isn't just academic. He's also part of La Minga, a 15-acre farming cooperative in Prospect, Kentucky. La Minga (which translates to "community work for community good") brings together people from different walks of life to grow, eat, and sell organic food. In our Juicy Fruit segment this week, U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch gives us chills with her strong statement against North Carolina's anti-transgender bathroom law. She announced this week that the Department of Justice will file a civil rights lawsuit against the state of North Carolina and Gov. Pat McCrory because the state's bathroom bill violates federal protections based on sexual orientation and gender identity. At one point in her speech, she addressed trans Americans directly, saying, "We see you. We stand with you, and we will do everything we can to protect you going forward. And please know that history is on your side." And to close out or show this week, we introduce you to another young person doing great things in our community. 15-year-old Jalen Posey is the co-founder and president of the Black Student Union at Central High School (while Central is a historically black high school, only a handful of teachers there are people of color). Posey was also involved in the formation of a city-wide BSU that serves students from throughout Louisville who may or may not have BSUs at their own schools. Jalen and other students recently appeared before the the Metro Council to advocate for funding for the Affordable Housing Trust Fund, where he recited a poem he wrote about poverty and housing injustice. He stopped by the studio to share that poem with us and our Fruitcakes, and tell us about the other work he and his fellow BSU leaders are doing.

Hundreds of thousands of black students, aided on some campuses by white and Latino students, demanded and protested for a relevant learning experience. At upwards of 1,000 traditionally white and historically black colleges and universities in the United States, black campus activists initiated a range of campus reforms, including the addition of more black students, faculty, administrators, and coaches, and the establishment of black cultural centers and Black Studies courses and programs. Their ultimate aim was to diversify and thus transform higher education. This Black Campus Movement of the late 1960s and early 1970s is the subject of this presentation. Speaker Biography: Dr. Ibram H. Rogers is a postdoctoral fellow in the Rutgers Center for Historical Analysis in New Brunswick, N.J. His writings have been published in several academic journals, magazines, and newspapers. He earned his doctorate in African American Studies from Temple University. His dissertation is the first full length study on what he calls the Black Campus Movement, the struggle of newly arrived Black students in the late 1960s and early 1970s, who demanded the diversification of higher education. They organized BSUs and successfully fought for Black Studies departments and courses, Black Cultural Centers, and the increase of Black students, faculty, administrators, and coaches.
