Meet Mary Jane Patterson, the first Black woman to earn a B.A. Born enslaved and originally enrolling at Oberlin in 1857, she disdained the then-standard 2-year program for women, and instead enrolled in a full 4-year program of classical studies --the "gentlemen's course." She formally attained her Bachelor's (with high honors) in 1862.

Take in more of her story at: https://www.petervintonjr.com/blm/lesson145.html

Random decks of twelve of these trading cards are available for the asking --as many decks as you need, to share with your classroom, congregation, or workgroup. No cost, no strings attached. Email the artist for details.

The address given for their "Star Booty" Mini LP in Oberlin, OH 44074. Source: MAXIMUM ROCKNROLL, issue no. 75, Aug., 1989. Street view date: Sept., 2023. Sample quote from the review: “Has this been out for a while? Well, we just got one and it's pretty damn good. Sometimes they lean a little into that mid-period Hüsker Dü rockin' sound, but not exclusively. Actually it's a pretty mixed bag of styles, but it works.” (ML).

Attn Oberlin College Alumni

Hi, if you're out there! If I know anything about Obies, some of you are definitely still on tumblr. I'm putting out this call to ask you to join the call for Oberlin to divest.

We're asking you to read the divestment information linked above, then sign this to show the Board of Trustees you agree with the student proposal. Then, as a step two, sign this pledge, saying you won't be donating to Oberlin until they divest from Israel.

Thanks for taking a minute to read this and act, please message me if you have any questions!
