Abstract
In this interview, Edmund Greene is the guest. Greene speaks about his role as the BSU president in San Gorgonio High School without even running for office. He then spoke about how he was in the first class to be bused into the high school, leading to racist violence that targeted him and other Black students. Over time, he mentions that racial tensions cooled but never went away entirely. Green then talks about BSU’s role in mobilizing students and the need to be aware of the history to which the Black population has contributed. Importantly, he mentions how every ethnic group will have people who are just looking for chaos and are prejudiced. The interview ends with Greene and the interviewer discussing Black Study courses in the high school.
