Bio: My name is Jarrod Dortch, and I am finishing my sophmore year here at Ball State. I am a History Secondary Education Major. I am the incoming Yice President of the Black Student Association and a member of Iota Phi Theta Fraternity, Incorporated.

Statement:

This has been a very interesting semester not only for myself but I believe for everyone involved in this project. There have been many occassions where we have all been forced to face issues and situations where we havent been totally comfortable about it. Over the time together we have learned how important it is to open our hearts and minds to what is out there.

Things are not all "Happy Squirells!"; there are some serious issues out there facing the America's...both Black and White. Until we can face these issues and engage in dialogue nothing will change. Nothing. Period.

Maybe this project can be a starting point.
