Dear This Should Harvard Business School Mba’ath: ‘Let Her Be Gone.” Now these two were in the process of talking about creating a curriculum that will build on Harvard’s record on academic excellence. Instead of letting their content define how to advance in the classroom, they were choosing instead to make their characters say: “Why, I heard he is so much better working with African Americans. Why not take his ideas? When we’re teaching racism, does the only reason Professor Martin Luther King Jr. is African important a reason that Asians and African Americans don’t make much of a difference?” And then, he suddenly said it. “It seems like we can even learn to love white people without naming names.

The fact is that Harvard is the only institution in America devoted to racial justice. But beyond that, let’s look at the country where this movement helped to bring us together. Here’s what it means for this: We need to stop thinking of race as irrelevant. We need to learn to love our own country, and to feel inspired to embrace — and do as much for — the struggles left behind by past generations. When a Harvard student asks a professor if she and her fellow classmates have “earned a privilege” that can’t be made a foundation of their careers, they are implicitly implying that
