James, Gertrude, Minority Concerns, Cultural diversity, Clubs, Students, Susquehanna University
Gertrude James '89, a philosophy major, helped to form the organization Minority Concerns. The club's goal was to "take out cultural monotony and replace it with cultural diversity". The idea to form the club took root in 1988. There was a noted lack of minority students at Susquehanna University. Ms. James' role in the group was to help minority students with any problems they might have and to coordinate efforts within the University to address these problems. The group presented radio shows during Black History month on WQSU, about black figures who contributed to history, guest speakers such as Robert Kalamho, who spoke of his native country, Namibia, and Griot music programs involving traditional music and story telling.
