Now, Mr. Lincoln?

Campus Climate

In this section, we studied campus climate at the University of Puget Sound in the years 1968-1969 on attitudes regarding issues of race. How are students engaged in discourse and actions for or against racial discrimination, and how is this reflected in the extent of their involvement in the “Now, Mr. Lincoln?” project? We investigate how students viewed their role in relation to the “Now, Mr. Lincoln?” project, show how campus climate has changed over time and how history is dynamic, and draw parallels between campus climate at the University of Puget Sound in 1968-70 and now (2017). We hope to help the visitor of this site understand how campus climate sets the stage for the onset of the “Now, Mr. Lincoln?” project, and the relevancy of the NML campaign to campus involvement in the community, and national/local news today.
