Minneapolis, MN (IBNN/Movie Screening, Sports, Black Males in
College/July 9, 2012)..In the United States, sports has been an vehicle

people who would, under normal circumstances never get a chance to
attend college.
In a brief phone conversation with newly installed Chair of the Board
of Trustees for Minnesota State Colleges and Universities (MnSCU), Mr.
Clarence Hightower, I spoke candidly of the challenges at MCTC and that
he and others “should take a deeper look” into the 2-year college.
Hightower, a man of great personal integrity, honesty and diplomacy
said, “MCTC is in a great location. Our people (Blacks) have easy access because it’s (MCTC) is on the bus line and it’s a good place.” Still my response to Mr. Hightower’s rebuttal was, “Racism is alive and well (growing) at MCTC.”
