From Class Secretary, Ed Strauss:
I think it [this video] is very well done, and will be of interest to everyone.
‘72’s Thurman White is the first “talking head,” and Vera Marcus ’72 is mentioned but not interviewed.
Best,
Ed

Subject: Black Alumni Documentary
Hello Princetoniana Friends,
As some of you know, this past weekend we hosted the Coming Back & Moving Forward Conference
for Black Princeton Alumni. One of the most thought-provoking sessions was the premiere of a new
documentary by Melvin McCray ’74 chronicling the experience of black alumni through interviews
conducted at the previous conference (Coming Back and Looking Forward) in 2006.
Interspersed with interviews are various historical notes about the black Princeton experience over two centuries.
Melvin did a marvelous job with the piece and the documentary has now been
posted online for general viewing pleasure. I thought the members of the Princetoniana
Committee may be particularly interested in seeing the film, so here is the link:

Enjoy,
Liz
