| Title |
In Black and White: The Georgian and the Sir George Williams Affair
|
| Abstract |
The author examines the "structural inequality in relation to race and racism" at Montreal's Sir George Williams University (now part of Concordia University) in the 1960s by examining articles published in The Georgian, the university's student-run newspaper leading up to and during the 1969 "Sir George Williams Affair." The "Affair" was precipitated by accusations of racism by Caribbean students at the university, who accused a biology professor of unfair grading practices against Black students and resulted, in February 1969, in student protestors destroying the school's computer center. The student newspaper, the author contends, published a "multiplicity of ideologies" from students and staff that exposed "support for radical politics, antagonism towards protestors, and significantly, overwhelming feelings of anger common throughout the University."
