To the Editor:
I would like to express my concern for Dartmouth students who were pained by the recent student party "Hip Hop in the Hood" on April 11 held in conjunction with the opening of the exhibition, "Black Womanhood: Images, Icons, and Ideologies of the African Body." Please accept our apologies for the distress and misunderstandings this event has caused. Museum and Dartmouth staff members have met with a group of students to listen to concerns, and we will welcome the opportunity to continue this dialogue.
