Excerpt from The American University Bulletin; April, 1940, Vol. 15: College of Arts and Sciences, School of Public Affairs (Undergraduate Division); Catalog Number for 1940-41 Session The American University is a Christian institution, free from all see tarian bias in teaching and administration. Various denominations are represented both in the faculty and the Board of Trustees, and its student body, while preponderantly of the Protestant faith, includes also young men and women of other creeds. With this non-sectarian character and liberal purpose, the work of instruction throughout the University is car ried on by a body of men and women who are adequately trained in their subjects, who are imbued with a genuine spirit of learning and teaching, who are devoted to high ideals of personal and social character, and who desire to be of the largest service in training men and women not only in academic learning but for lives of practical usefulness.

Book Description
Many prominent and well-known figures greatly impacted the civil rights movement, but one of the most influential and unsung leaders of that period was Gloria Richardson. As the leader of the Cambridge Nonviolent Action Committee (CNAC), a multifaceted liberation campaign formed to target segregation and racial inequality in Cambridge, Maryland, Richardson advocated for economic justice and tactics beyond nonviolent demonstrations. Her philosophies and strategies—including her belief that black people had a right to self–defense—were adopted, often without credit, by a number of civil rights and black power leaders and activists. The Struggle Is Eternal: Gloria Richardson and Black Liberation explores the largely forgotten but deeply significant life of this central figure and her determination to improve the lives of black people. Using a wide range of source materials, including interviews with Richardson and her personal papers, as well as interviews with dozens of her friends, relatives, and civil rights colleagues, Joseph R. Fitzgerald presents an all-encompassing narrative. From Richardson's childhood, when her parents taught her the importance of racial pride, through the next eight decades, Fitzgerald relates a detailed and compelling story of her life. He reveals how Richardson's human rights activism extended far beyond Cambridge and how her leadership style and vision for liberation were embraced by the younger activists of the black power movement, who would carry the struggle on throughout the late 1960s and into the 1970s.
