West Point Negro Cadets Quietly Welcome Attracting Applicants
At the U S Military Academy West Point a growing number of Negro cadets study and train without overt discrimination. Cadet James Fowler and others describe race as not defining their experience while officials say opportunities must be publicized. Since integration in 1950 only 54 of 26 000 cadets have been Negroes with 1877 seeing the first Negro graduate.
