September 1969 - The Internal Racism Project, directed by Assistant Professor of Psychology Dr. Jane Moosbruker, announced plans to work with the Black Forum and the S.D.S. and other campus groups to "confront racism." Using movies and discussion, this collaboration intends to reeducate the staff, faculty, and students about problems that black people encounter with the white majority. Dr. Moosbruker said the group's program was based on the assumption that effective social change must be attacked within Boston College before problems in the community can be approached. […] The film, The Friendly Game which is a psychological play focusing on a white man and a black man in a game of chess, has real shock value and was tabbed "moving" and "emotional experience." The second film is a short narrative-documentary prepared and presented on television by comedian Bill Cosby that grapples with life as an urban black, and promises to be "unnerving." […] The films will be held in McGuinn Auditorium at 4 P.M. and again at 9 P.M. ("Racism films trigger orientation discussions,” The Heights) (Paul Dillon, “Psych Board denies Moosbruker tenure,” The Heights)
