They just do not figure in the American story, except as slaves, as reminders of guilt. And nobody likes to be reminded of guilt”—David K. Shipler, A Country of Strangers: Blacks and Whites in America. On September 14, 2001, Kent State University’s Ashtabula Campus sponsored its colloquium on race based on David K. Shipler’s A Country of Strangers by the Pulitzer Prize–winning author of Arab and Jew. This collection of 18 papers explores such topics as blacks and whites in the performing arts; racial profiling; racism in American baseball; race, work and wholeness; musical style as a symbol of black cultural identity; the early Newberry Library in Chicago; the use of the body by artists to reveal the mind; Southern white ministers at mid-century; building a diverse and respectful campus community; organizational changes creating a new climate for racial equality; the missing voice of the Spanish–speaking in the black-white dialogue; the concept of equality of educational opportunity for African Americans; and praises, criticism and comments for A Country of Strangers: Blacks and Whites in America.
