I can not believe Duke has had students of color for only 50 years. I was born in 1963 and I consider myself young. I attended Duke from 1980 to 1984. I really had a great time there but lived a very segregated life. The African American students all ate together in the cafeteria. I know (hope) it is different now. Saying that, I have encouraged my twin daughters to apply there because I do feel I received an excellent education.
