Coverage
"One student mentioned that minority students were tired of being educators of the community, but nevertheless felt that it was something that they must do. Another was fed up with being considered the spokesperson for an entire race in every discussion class at Middlebury."
"Walsh said, 'I think the potential for something positive coming out of the King verdict is that we are reminded again in a very powerful way that we are not as close to racial harmony as we sometimes want to believe.'"
