dustrial revolution.
“Slaves were the cotton industry,
and cotton was by far America’s big
gest export crop,” he said.
Incorrect images of African slaves
perpetuated by white historians of
the early 1900s also strongly in
fluenced the public image of the
“uncultured and childish negro,”
Dulaney said.
“When a group of leading white
historians depicted African ex-slaves
as ignorant Sambos near the turn of
the 1900s, they warped a nation’s
mentality,” he said.
However, during this period, a
few African-American historians be
gan to point out the errors in pre
vious evaluations of U.S. history,
Dulaney said.
“With W.E.B. DuBois, Carter G.
Woodson and several others, Afri
can-American history began to chal
lenge and then correct what had
been white American history,” he
said. “By telling the true history, we
can clarify our nation’s past and pre
sent a clearer and more understand
able view of our country.”
Dulaney said efforts like African-
American Heritage Month continue
to be important because many peo
ple still do not know enough Afri
can-American history.
Dulaney said he works with
schools in the Dallas area to teach
educators about African-Americans.
“Presently, teachers still don’t
teach this because they themselves
don’t know it,” Dulaney said. “What
we are trying to do is go back to day
one and educate them.”
He said he understands how peo
ple might have difficulty with Afri
can-American history. However, he
said it is important to continue these
educational efforts.
“It’s easy to intergrate these histo
ries because they are so interrelated.
They are one-in-the-same,” Dulaney
said. “If we see them otherwise, we
will lose ourselves and the correct
identity of our country.”

question open to everyone’s good
judgment.
He says people often have abso
lute faith in medical studies and
treatments that come from large
medical institutions, but he says that
may not always be the best thing to
do.
While not wanting to discredit
medical institutions, Heimlich says
often big institutions get so
“wrapped up in what they are
doing” they overstep ethical bounda
ries.
“Real discoveries have to be made
by real people,” he says.
While Heimlich says he did some
testing of his discoveries on dogs, he
says the majority of testing was done
with “real patients.”
For example, he says he first
tested the Heimlich Chest Drainage
Valve on a man with severe emphy
sema and a crushed chest who
needed his chest drained.
He says after putting in the valve.

Sigma Theta, says she has enoun-
tered several racial incidents since
coming to A&M.
“One of my professors, who is ten
ured, constantly made derogatory
remarks about blacks,” she says. “He
would say, ‘you people,’ and other
racist remarks in front of the whole
class.”
Isabell says she thought about tak
ing legal action, but she wasn’t ready
to deal with the hostility she thought
she’d encounter.
“In the end, he had to take on ex
tra duties that tenured professors
don’t normally have to do,” she says.
“He’s also had to attend multicultu
ral programs.”
Isabell doubts the programs will
help the professor.
“He’s set in his ways,” she says.
“He’s a racist.”
Jeff Simpson, an A&M psycholo
gist, says racism can’t be contributed
to one single factor.
“Most racists don’t base their be
liefs on first-hand experience,” he
says. “Their beliefs are based on
hearsay (from) their parents and

posure.”
Simpson says it is often difficult to
change a racist’s viewpoint.
“No matter what the other group
does to dispel the myths against
them, a racist will usually keep the

Kevin Carreathers, director of the
Department of Multicultural Serv
ices, says the A&M administration
has been forced to deal with racial
incidents.
“Racism definitely exists on
A&M’s campus,” he says. “A&M is a
microcosm of society. Whatever so
cietal ills we have, we’ll find at A&M
too. If racism is a problem in society,
A&M will have problems with it al
so.”
The Department of Multicultural
Services was formed in 1987 to serve
as a liaison between students and the
University administration. Although
the department focuses on the needs
of ethnic minority students, it en-
