Abstract
"The brief history of Black Music at Bennington has been equally disconcerting.
The move to include Black Music in the Bennington curriculum was not intitated by
the College indeed it was quite literally a campaign mounted by proponents of
the music which resulted in that inclusion. When BlackMusic was accorded
divisional status it became apparent that it was still to be regarded by the
college as the 'poor relation of the arts'."
