Return to the "POINTER VIEW" February 1, 2002 An informal column about issues affecting the West Point Community Commentary by Capt. Patrick Murphy SJA "The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stand at times of challenge and controversy." Benjamin Franklin As we head into Super Bowl weekend, we can celebrate two great teams facing off in the Super Bowl for the Vince Lombardi Trophy. As you can read in Jim Fox’s column, I am predicting a big Rams win, 30-17, over the New England Patriots, as long as the Rams continue to follow the ‘Marshall Plan’ (as in Marshall Faulk). But we can also start celebrating another great event which begins today, Black History Month. Whether black or white, African-American or Irish-American, we should all take the time in February to celebrate this part of our American heritage. A trip to Harlem The experience of a lifetime Where else in the Army can you take a day trip to historic Harlem? In what looks to become a West Point tradition, Maj. Steve Redmon, a fellow Judge Advocate in the Department of Law, is running another Harlem Trip Feb. 16. Simply put, this trip is almost as good as the Super Bowl itself. Last year, several buses went down on this exciting and insightful trip. This year’s trip looks to be even bigger and better. The Harlem trip will be departing West Point Feb. 16, at 8 a.m., from Buffalo Soldiers Field. After visiting institutions like the Schomberg Center of Research in Black Culture (a must-see visit in itself), the Apollo Theater (where some of us may have the opportunity to show off our talents), Grant’s Tomb and enjoying some fine soul food cuisine, the trip will return to USMA by 7 p.m., just in time for any Saturday night plans.

Although Flipper is best remembered as the first African American graduate of West Point, he later had an important career as an authority on the border between the United States and Mexico. Born into slavery in Thomasville, Georgia, Henry was the son of Festus and Isabella Flipper. His father, a slave and local shoemaker, and his mother, the slave of a Methodist minister, believed in the importance of formal education, and this was a value they passed on to their sons during the heady optimism of Reconstruction. While attending Atlanta University, Flipper attracted the attention of a local congressman, who appointed him to attend the U.S. Military Academy at West Point. The social atmosphere at West Point proved difficult and demanding for its handful of young black cadets, but Flipper persevered and graduated in ...
