 Sylvester Brooks discusses his leadership role among  African-American students at MTSU during the late 1960s.

"We decided that we would start a group called CUBE.  It was called Creating Understanding By Effort, and it was biracial, multiracial group of students, black and white students.  It was organized to have discussion groups and to talk about issues and discuss our different backgrounds, and where we were coming from, and what our thoughts were about this, that, and the other, and how people can look at one thing and see totally different things--what our parents taught us versus what is right or wrong, you know, lots of things to discuss."
