Description:

Since 1878 is a multi-part series by the 142nd Board of The Exonian. It examines the paper’s coverage of racism at the Academy and, by extension, in the country as a whole. The articles do not provide a complete overview of racist events over the years in question. Additionally, research draws heavily from The Exonian’s archives, which do not present a holistic depiction of racial dynamics at the Academy. Instead, Since 1878 offers a portrait of The Exonian, the Academy and the nation, decade by decade, by highlighting articles published in the paper.
