This is an essay chronicling the history of the black studies major at Grinnell College, with an emphasis on the reasons it had such a short career. It also provides an overview of the CBS (Concerned Black Students) Manifesto of 1971.
This exhibit explores not only how Grinnellians engaged in the actual war, and how they were involved in the debate over slavery before the war and how they commemorated veterans after the War.
The PPPE worked to encourage student participation in politics, and during the 1960s, was one of Grinnell’s largest and most successful extracurricular programs.
