WFU responds to profiling complaints
Black students accuse campus cops of bias
BY TODD LUCK
THE CHRONICLE ?
The treatment of minority students at Wake Forest University by campus police
and fellow students was the subject of a town hall at Wait
Chapel on Ihursday, Nov. 2U.
The discussion was a follow-up to a town hall organized in
February by an interracial trio of students - Emma Northcott,
Marchel Ebron and Kristen McCain - in response to police
shutting down a Jan. 25 party by Kappa Alpha Psi, a national
Pan-Hellenic Council or "Black Greek" fraternity.
Northcott said the party caused a lot of tension between
students and the Wake Forest Police.
"It was just overwhelming police presence and monitoring
of activities when there were no violent altercations." she
said. "And there was an arrest of a student when all he said
was a curse word. He didn't threaten anyone. 1 witnessed it
myself."
Ebron said black fraternity and sorority parties are given
more scrutiny by campus police than events held by white Greek organizations. The

Memories of Meharry
Local retired health professionals fondly recall black med school
BY TODD LUCK
THt CHRONICLE
Meharry Medical
College in Nashville,
Tenn. has trained thou
sands of black medical
professionals since it was
founded in 1876. Five of
them told their stories last
Thursday at the New
Winston Museum.
The Society for the
Study of Afro-American
History sponsored the
event, inviting the local
retired medical profes
sionals to talk about their
time at the esteemed col
lege. They all attended
during segregation. Dr. E.
Rudolph Oglesby, a
retired dentist, said back
then blacks who wanted a
career in health headed
either to Meharry or
Howard University in
Washington, D.C.
"The reason 1 went to
Meharry: It sounded sort
of mystique," said Dr.
Oglesby, to which his
wife, Meharry-trained
nurse Treva Oglesby,
added, "They had a won
derful tradition."
The Oglesbys were
joined by surgeon Dr.
Harvey Allen Sr.; nurse
Willie Kennedy, who met
her husband, Dr. Charles
Kennedy, at Meharry;
and Dr. Willard McCloud.
who practiced general sur
gery, obstetrics and gyne
cology,
Meharry's storied
roots go back to the 1820s
when a white teenager,
Samuel Meharry, was
hauling salt in Kentucky
when his wagon slipped
into a muddy ditch. A
family of freed slaves gave
him food and shelter for
the night and helped him
get his wagon out of the
ditch the next morning.
Meharry told them he'd do.
"something for your race"
to repay them for their
kindness. In 1876, he and
his four brothers gave
$30,000 and land to

Summit targets
global threats
to women
BY CHANEL DAVIS
THE CHRONICLE
Girls who dare to seek an education face the threat of
violence every day, Razia Jan told attendees last Thursday,
Nov. 20 at a global health forum sponsored by Novant
Heath.
Jan, whose efforts to educate girls in her native
Afghanistan gained wide acclaim in 2012 when she was
nominated as a linn Hero,
said she fears that the school
she started in Deh'Subz, 30
miles outside of Kabul, will
be blown up by a hand
grenade.
"Every day we have to be
worried that water is not poi
soned; so I check the water,"
she said. "I'm so careful. I
check their bags, not because
these girls will bring some
thing, but for something that
someone may throw in their
backnack and it explode."
Jan, who has lived in the United States since the 1970s,
started the Razia's Ray of Hope Foundation to empower
Afghan girls and young women through a community
based education. The organization's crown jewel is the
Zabuli Education Center, an all-girls K-12 school that
opened in 2008.
The school provides free education to more than 400
