Furthermore, it was our understanding (based upon conversations with the deans earlier this year), that until such time as Bennington College sees fit to change it's policy regarding the existence of a Black Music Division, this type of slanderous, reactionary, political activity would no longer be tolerated."Item Black Music Division Presents a Lecture by Larry Neal(1975-10-16)"Mr. Neal is currently teaching at Williams College in the English Department.

Courses should be expanded in terms of content and the perspectives by which the material is studied must be opened. We are calling for the creation of courses to fit within the structure of present divisions; the development of courses such as Urbanology, Black Protest Thought, Afro-American contributions to Music and Dance, etc We calling for the creation of a Black Studies division, making it possible to major in Afro-American Studies or some area within."Item Black Studies(1970-03-24) Pitts, George Edward"At Bennington College the sense of immediacy which must pervade the establishment of a program of Black Studies diminishes in essentially a school of white students.

An increased number of Black students demands a sensitivity to his cultural needs as a Black person . Hence Black Studies. These needs after all were created by Black people."
