DOWNLOAD EBOOK"The death of Henry Dumas was violent, tragic, and wrong. But it is his life, as revealed in these poems, that commands our attention. Sweet Home, Arkansas, the place of his birth, is here in the pristine blues poem 'Knees of a natural man.' Harlem, where he later lived, is here in 'Mosaic Harlem.' And the philosophy and passion that come from being in touch with the whole universe are here as well in 'Genesis on an endless mosaic.' Then there are the love poems--acid, sensual, intense. Here is a poet of both the mind and the flesh, whose boldness is the consequence of certainty and whose restraint has the touch of a master at the reins"--From back cover.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis personal history chronicles the triumph and loss of a 1960s initiative to recruit minority students to Columbia University’s School of Architecture. At the intersection of US educational, architectural, and urban history, When Ivory Towers Were Black tells the story of how an unparalleled cohort of ethnic minority students overcame institutional roadblocks to earn degrees in architecture from Columbia University. Its narrative begins with a protest movement to end Columbia’s authoritarian practices, and ends with an unsettling return to the status quo. Sharon Egretta Sutton, one of the students in question, follows two university units that led the movement toward emancipatory education: the Division of Planning and the Urban Center. She illustrates both units’ struggle to open the ivory tower to ethnic minority students and to involve those students in improving Harlem’s slum conditions. Along with Sutton’s personal perspective, the story is narrated through the oral histories of twenty-four fellow students who received an Ivy League education only to find the doors closing on their careers due to Nixon-era urban disinvestment policies.
