Drake Dinner

A student group at Drake University is expressing concern over the menu at a campus dinner intended to celebrate Black History Month. Tess Montgomery, president of the Coalition of Black Students, tells the Des Moines Register that some African-American students felt embarrassed and patronized by Wednesday night's dinner menu that included fried chicken and collard greens. Montgomery says the menu perpetuated offensive stereotypes. Sodexo, the school's food services provider, has apologized, and is planning a second dinner with the student group.
