  1. Dear Professor Cox,
    I too experienced grief at Professor Gay’s horrific attacks and resignation.

    I was a student at Harvard in the 1970’s – admitted under a quota of 4 men to every one woman.

    My friends from New York City were among the first groups of Puerto Ricans and African American to be admitted. I observed their grueling struggles to keep up on a grossly uneven playing field.

    It was an uphill battle.

    Thank you for reminding us, and giving us perspective, that it is still an uphill battle.

    Ongoing practice and encouragement is needed.

    Sincerely,
    Joan

    Thank you for articulating what I am feeling about Professor Gay resignation. The viciousness of the attack shows how deeply racism is embedded in America. We must continue the fight for representation.
    Best,
    Michele David
