- Abstract
- Mary Montle Bacon (MA Education, 1971; PhD Psychology, 1978), who attended graduate school at Stanford in the 1970s, reflects on the factors the led her to join the Black Student Union and her work as a student representative on the committee formed to deal with the demands black students made during the Taking of the Mic protest, held in 1968 in the wake of Martin Luther King Jr.’s assassination. Bacon sheds light on the meaning of specific demands and offers an assessment of their impact. She concludes the interview by reflecting on the mixed value of her Stanford degree to her career in education and offering advice to current black students.
