Fraternity: In 1968, a visionary priest recruited 20 black men to the College of the Holy Cross and changed their lives and the course of history. by Diane Brady
5.0
This was a very interesting look at what it really took to get more black students on campus at Holy Cross and the pushback that came with it. In some places, it reads a little too much like a white savior narrative, but at the same time, it makes it clear that white people overwhelmingly hold the power in higher ed, and desegregation work is an obligation, not an act of charity. That many of the men involved turned out to be famous is almost besides the point.
