Our work focuses on Lincoln University student Harlan Bruce Joseph, who would have graduated in 1970. We know he worked in the dining hall. But to tell the story well, we need to learn more about life at Lincoln. What do you remember about the dining hall? Also, Lincoln University had recently gone co-ed, and begun to admit white students.  How did these things change the culture of the school?

Can you help identify anyone in the dining room photo? Or the year it was taken? Do you remember details about Mrs. Renwick (in the photo above) who ran the dining hall?
