Description
Black Domers tells the compelling story of racial integration on the University of Notre Dame within the post–World War II era. In a series of seventy-five essays, beginning with the first African-American to graduate from Notre Dame in 1947 to a member of the class of 2017 who also served as student body president, we will trace the trials, tribulations, and triumphs of the African-American experience at Notre Dame through seven decades.
Don Wycliff and David Krashna’s book is a revised edition of a 2014 publication. With a couple of exceptions, the stories of these graduates are told in their very own words, within the type of essays on their experiences at Notre Dame. The range of these experiences is broad; joys and opportunities, but also hardships and obstacles, are recounted. Notable among {several|a couple of|a number of} themes emerging from these essays is the importance of leadership from the top in successfully bringing African-Americans into the student body and enabling them to turn out to be fully accepted, fully contributing members of the Notre Dame community. The late Rev. Theodore Hesburgh, president of the university from 1952 to 1987, played an indispensable role on this regard and also wrote the foreword to the book.
This book will probably be an invaluable resource for Notre Dame graduates, especially those belonging to African-American and other minority groups, specialists in race and diversity in higher education, civil rights historians, and specialists in race relations.
