Black Alumnil Weekend
through Tanner Fountain
The tent for the luncheon. [I just really like the fountain.]

You’ll have to believe me for now, that there are quite a few Black Alumni here. There were two very photogenic women at the reception table. I told them what I was up to, but they were still nervous. There was a panel, “State of Blacks at Harvard: Leveraging Our Resources for the Community at Large.” I recognized two names Soledad O’Brien ’88 from the TV and Chuck Turner ’62, Boston City Councillor for the neighboring community of Roxbury. If you wonder how I know so many black politicians, it’s because I live in Dorchester. The politicians who speak up for me, just happen to be black [and Latin(a|o)]. Well except for Sam Yoon.
