Professor Ernst Borinski would organize evenings in which Blacks and Whites would have to sit next to each other for dinner. This was revolutionary in the segregated South.
- How have you felt in situations where you spent time with people whose appearance, way of life or religion was very different from yours? Do you believe that providing opportunities for those considered "different from each other" to interact has a role in race relations today?
Doctor Ernst Manasse designed and taught a class entitled "The Black Problem" in the late 1960s. It was attended by both students and faculty and initially fostered much discourse and dialogue. But as time went on, he was asked to no longer teach this course because of his perspective as a White man.
- Is it possible for someone to teach a subject that they are not directly a part of? Is it possible for a White film director to effectively direct a film about Blacks or a Black writer to write an accurate story about Whites? How do we understand an experience that is not our own?
