Sinopse

'Courage' is a commencement address delivered by J. M. Barrie to the St. Andrews University graduates in 1922. Barries is best-remembered today for writing Peter Pan. In his speech, Barrie advises the students to not be afraid to do better than "the greats" before them who have committed wrongdoings, and to hold onto their aspirations. However, he also reminds them that everyone will eventually be held responsible for their actions.

    Over the past fifty years, debates concerning race and college admissions have focused primarily on the policy of affirmative action at elite institutions of higher education. But a less well-known approach to affirmative action also emerged in the 1960s in response to urban unrest and Black and Latino political mobilization. The programs that emerged in response to community demands offered a more radical view of college access: admitting and supporting students who do not meet regular admissions requirements and come from families who are unable to afford college tuition, fees, and other expenses. This approach is based on a logic of developing scholars who can be supported at their local public institutions of higher education. 
     
     
     
    In Developing Scholars, Domingo Morel explores the history and political factors that led to the creation of college access programs for students of color in the 1960s. Through a case study of an existing community-centered affirmative action program, Talent Development, Morel shows how protest, including violent protest, has been instrumental in the maintenance of college access programs. Developing Scholars argues that the origin, history, and purpose of these programs reveal gaps in our understanding of college access expansion in the US that challenge conventional wisdom of American politics.
