Abstract
"I am writing this letter to ask that you and the entire Bennington
community again consider the grotesque racio-musical situation now
existing in this gem of a college. A few years ago the faculty voted to
accept the proposal that there be an independent Black Music division.
A few weeks ago another decision, consistent as it is with the school's
sense of fair play and the separate but equal status of the two music
divisions, yet typical of the basic fallacy at the core of the situation,
was handed down through the administration. It was decreed: .that·
each music division would have use of the carriage barn three and one
half days per week."
