The Dead Soldiers

By D.M.R. 1

For more than a hundred years, African Americans sought unfettered access to American college campuses. During the 1970's, following the passage of federal legislation designed to end exclusion, along with new federal student loan and grant programs, many traditionally segregated colleges found it fiscally prudent to open their doors. Some were serious about inclusion; some only saw huge profits to be made.Against this backdrop, the first full generation of African Americans began matriculation on American campuses. With no federal oversight, many higher education tragedies ensued that remain to this day unrecognized and unreported."The Dead Soldiers", is the true story of a one-time Washington DC street hustler caught up in just such a situation on an upper Midwestern campus, where survival is the only major that counts.
