The Miner's Canary

Guinier, Lani

Liberal Education, v91 n2 p26-31 Spr 2005

Miners used canaries as early warning signals: when a canary gasped for breath, the miners knew there was a problem with the atmosphere in the mine. The experience of people of color in higher education can be used similarly as a diagnostic tool.
