Description
-
A PDF transcript of an interview with an anonymous African-American senior at W&L about his experience with the school. A football player and fraternity member, he seems generally content with the school and his friends, and does not detail the sense of racial "othering" throughout the interview that the female student highlights in Interview #11 (he does emphasize that racial tensions aren't as high because there aren't enough black students to produce such tension). However, near the end, he expresses the wish that he had known everything about the school before he chose to attend and expresses a sense of loneliness in the idea that none of his friends shared nor truly understood his background or problems.
