ICQ Alumni Spotlight: Richard V. Knight II '74
Richard V. Knight II '74 has built on his youthful passion for justice throughout a lifetime of activism on behalf of Africa.
In the early 1970s Ithaca was known as a hotbed of student activism. Indeed, Richard V. Knight II '74 chose to attend Ithaca College precisely because of the town's reputation for involvement in civil rights and antiwar struggles. "Nixon was president, and the Vietnam war was at its height," Knight recalls. "It's hard to express how angry we were at the war, including its expansion into Cambodia in 1970 and the Christmas bombings in 1972."
Ithaca College Students in Sitcom Writing Marathon

By Sunday evening -- voila -- a sitcom outline.More
