American society is complicated by the intermeshing of class and ethnic differences. Not only do persons differ in regards to the traditional dimensions of income, power, and prestige, but they are also of different races, religions, and nationalities. For those tens of millions of Americans who fall outside the purview of WASP America there is the persistent problem, both social and personal, of self-identification. Each ethnic group has been faced with models which variously de-emphasize and glorify their group's ethnicity.1 There has been considerable ambivalence about the virtues of ethnic diversity by members of the WASP majority and among hyphenated Americans as well.2 No one has felt this ambivalence more acutely than the Negro. In the words of W. E. B. Du Bois, One ever feels his twoness,-an American, a Negro; two souls, two thoughts, two unreconciled stirrings; two warring ideals in one dark body, whose dogged strength alone keeps it from being torn asunder.3 The implications of this bifurcated nature have been profound, indeed. As Blacks have fought to alter their inferior status in American society, they have chosen models which have alternately emphasized and de-emphasized their group's ethnicity. These competing strains are nowhere more evident than among the nation's Southern Black students whose presence was thrust upon the public consciousness with the advent of the sit-ins. Their activities, neglected by public and scholarly concern, have taken place against the backdrop of the nation's Southern Negro colleges and universities
