The Harvard Crimson Interviews Vinay Harpalani (Justice Department Continues Investigation Into Harvard Admissions), Vinay Harpalani, Camille G. Caldera
Faculty Scholarship
A Department of Justice investigation into alleged discrimination in Harvard’s race-conscious admissions policies remains ongoing.

African American Studies - All Scholarship

Millions of people saw, heard, and read about black and white men playing side-by-side. Integrating the national pastime helped challenge segregationist norms across the land, facilitating the integration of military troops and public schools soon thereafter.
