A Message of Inclusion, A History of Exclusion: Racial Injustice at the Peabody Institute
Description
"A Message of Inclusion, A History of Exclusion: Racial Injustice at the Peabody Institute" is a paper examining Peabody's exclusion of African-American students. With a focus on the years 1924-1968, the paper also reflects on more recent efforts to increase diversity at Peabody. The online exhibit of the same name serves as a digital appendix to the paper, displaying images and documents from the Peabody Archives.
This statement on student dissent was recorded in the Board of Trustees Minutes on June 13, 1968. The statement came after a time of unrest in Baltimore following the assassination of Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr.
