“Clubs Sponsor Symposium On Third World”

“The Third World Outlook, a symposium offered by the International Club and the Afro-American Society, is a series of lectures designed to offer Amherst students a concrete conception of what is implied by the present liberation movement in Africa and Asia as well as the colonization trend of black Americans.”

 

“The Third World”

“For Amherst students who complain that the blacks all sit together in the dining room, who lament their inability to understand black protest, who wonder at the need for a Black Studies department, it might be well to participate in this opportunity to learn of the Third World and its politics. To pass up such an opportunity in education both of sense and sensibility is inexcusable.”
