- catalog description "In the 1920s Harvard University’s exclusion of African-Americans from freshman dormitories to accommodate Southern white students sparked a national controversy. The campaign against Harvard’s exclusionary policy began in the spring of 1922 when black students appealed to President Abbott Lawrence Lowell to no avail. In the summer white alumni circulated a petition among two hundred Harvard graduates (145 graduates endorsed the petition) expressing dismay over Harvard’s discrimination against African-American students and Harvard’s surrender of its “Northern ideas of democracy” and “Harvard ideals of justice.” In January 1923 the Board of Overseers held a special meeting to discuss Harvard’s exclusionary policies and a faculty committee was appointed to study the matter. Subsequently, the Board of Overseers unanimously banned discrimination for reasons of race or religion at Harvard and affirmed the right of African-Americans to equal opportunity at Harvard.".
