William McClendon, directorof the Reed College BlackStudies Department, has beenoffering Whitman studentsparticipating in the Interimprogram a new insight on the"black American existence."

His concern, he said, is indispelling the false stereotypeswhich shroud the black and areseldom overcome because oflack of e x p e r i e n c e andknowledge of the extensivehistory of the black in America.

McClendon said he believesthe history of the United Statesis racist; he does not pin theracist label on all whiteAmerican indiv iduals , butbelieves that American society,consciously or unconsciously,still associates the black withslavery and infer ior i ty , nomatter what education orprofession he has achieved.

McClendon reviewed blackhistory, from the first slaveimports in 1619, as a struggle for"freedom, equa l i ty , andjustice." Black mihtance wasdefined by the speaker as thelealization of suppression andorganization of programs toresist it. Such mihtance. heexplained, is not to be equatedwith violence or disregard for
