Her unnerving depiction of tokenism on a college campus is a call to move beyond fake progress
r find Jasmine Moore , a Black freshman, getting assigned to a haunted dorm room on the centuries-old campus of fictional Ancaster College. Bad omens abound for Professor Gail Bishop as well. Her key doesn’t seem to work in the door of Belleville House, where she has been promoted to the role of residence hall Master.
Jasmine Moore is an incoming freshman who sees very few other Black students on her campus. She gradually faces nightmares and even hate-crime level harassment. What did her character represent for you? How did she develop in the writing process? When I set out to tell a story that followed Gail and Jasmine and Liv, I had to commit to doing justice to what I know to be true. My mom also worked in academia her whole life, so it’s what I knew to be true from her and from my own friends. This is the burden that a lot of us feel is placed on us.
When I was a student there, there was a residential college called Calhoun College named for [former U.S. Vice President] John C. Calhoun. Within that dining hall, there was beautiful stained glass and one of the stained glass panes depicted slaves carrying bushels. That stained glass was the subject of much debate and back-and-forth between the administration and the students.
