My day today was quite interesting. I picked up the Purdue Exponent this morning and got pissed about the Nwaneri case all over again and so I started to do some research and came up with this from the Chronicle of Higher Education which led me to the book, In the Matter of Color, by A. Leon Higginbotham who discusses in the introduction his time as a student here at Purdue in which he recounts how the president of the university, back in 1944, told him that if he didn't like living in the too-cold segregated housing that was provided for them then he could leave the university. Hmm. Is that where it comes from. I believe someone should have been missing a penis.
