“I’m not putting anyone up against a wall, but only hoping to make them aware of the fact that the issue of racism must be observed…You can do all the groundwork you want to do, but to make people move, you sometimes need one human act of rebellion.”——————A Spotlight on James Montford “@BlackatExeter should be a wakeup call. [Exeter] should be proactive instead of reactive. They should know that even the people who seem involved still have moments when they feel separate and apart.”—————A Spotlight on Judith Hall Howard ’73 “a phrase / of her stitching wounds can make; / raw, the freshly killed alone / the young obscenity of / weening in the streets / the sacrificial bleats / of slaughters, meats / for mayors. She like love: the agony and the bone”——————A Spotlight on Dolores T. Kendrick “As David Henderson ’74 said at Bolden’s memorial service, ‘You can find Bill Bolden wherever there are Exonians. Exonians are the evidence of Bill Bolden.’”—————A Spotlight on William H. Bolden “I am the New Black. I will neither babble about how much I love Jesus, nor entertain you with sparkling racial comedy…. I want neither to be your enemy, nor your friend. I don’t want your love, or your pity, or your guilt, or your fear. I demand only that you respect me.”——————A Spotlight on Rev. Theophus (Thee) Smith ’69 A Tribute to Edmund Perry ’85
