An Inclusive Litany

6/29/92

A group of University of Oregon students tore down and defaced a promotional banner for the school's summer session that was displayed at a campus intersection. The banner featured the faces of Plato, Jane Austen, and Michelangelo, and said, "You meet the most interesting people in summer school." Apparently upset that they did not see any non-white role models, the students ripped the banner down, wrote "racism" on it, and painted some of the white faces brown.
