“…A precollege program developed at Tufts University by African American psychologist Bernard Harleston demonstrated positive results and served as a potential model (Harleston, 1965). Howard University built on this work by hosting summer institutes for undergraduate psychology majors from Black colleges in 1968 and 1969, with support from the Ford Foundation (Bayton, Roberts, & Williams, 1970).…”

“…Recommendations were made that APA use its Visiting Psychologist Program to stimulate interest among Black undergraduates and that work to improve graduate programs at Black institutions be undertaken. Most important, the conferee attendants suggested that systematic support of graduate study through fellowships and other financial assistance was the key to increasing the overall number of Black graduate students (Bayton, Roberts, & Williams, 1970).…”

By 1980, the previously held dichotomy of Black and White racial identity in America had yielded to a mosaic of red, yellow, brown, black, and white. During the 1960s and 1970s, identity, and thus psychological knowledge, were articulated and differentiated in terms of gender, sexual orientation, and class in unprecedented ways. In this article, the author contextualizes efforts to make mainstream American psychology more receptive to ethnic minorities between 1966 and 1980. Advocacy and activism by ethnic minority psychologists forced American mainstream psychology to yield a place at the table to non-White, non-European individuals. He emphasizes the recruitment and retention of ethnic minority graduate students and faculty, and concludes that many individual psychologists were important in forcing changes in these areas.

“…In recent years, the explicitly endorsed interests of psychology have begun to shift, albeit gradually and reluctantly. Ethnic minorities have demanded greater participation in the profession as well as the elimination of practices regarded as discriminatory (Bayton, Roberts, & Williams, 1970; Blau, 1970; Boxly & Wagner, 1971; Simpkins, & Raphael, 1970; Williams, 1970). The American Psychological Association (APA) has responded.…”

Major trends and events in i/te field of psychology and in society in general have underscored training inadequacies in graduate psychology programs. As a result, individual practitioners and the profession as a whole have not been prepared to respond effectively to the ethnic and cultural concerns of diverse client populations. Five imperatives for developing ethnically and culturally relevant graduate programs are proposed. Collectively, these imperatives provide a firm mandate for program relevance. Specific recommendations, including a model for cross-cultural curricula, are presented. The article concludes with practical implementation steps.

“…The May issue was devoted entirely to the changing university structure and new developments in psychology designed to meet these changes (APA, 1970b, entire issue). The June 1970 issue reviewed programs and opportunities related to "minority groups and careers in psychology" (Bayton, Roberts, & Williams, 1970) and "training for community psychology" (Kelly, 1970). This last topic was the 1969 presidential address of James G. Kelly (1970) to the Division of Community Psychology.…”
