"Around and About" by Worthington, Constance. Column for the Junior League of Providence magazine/newsletter.

Description

Abstract:
Column discusses how political unrest, impatience, and violence have touched the Brown and Pembroke communities. Looks at roots of student unrest, explaining that "The target for student upheaval, therefore, is inequality in various forms," chief among these being the war in Vietnam, civil rights, and institutional inequality (e.g. Brown's standardized curriculum). Focuses on how "a state of student upheaval" can be transformed to a "state of peaceful and democratic change," advocating constructive, open discourse. In an email dated February 13, 2013 from Connie Worthington to Erica Florenz (see Box 1 Folder 7), Connie explained that "Around and About" was originally written for the Junior League of Providence magazine/newsletter.
