Richard G. Johnson in his letter "Different Prices at 'Tribute' Inappropriate" (Letters, Feb. 10) mentions that he regrets that there exists an event called "Tribute to Black Men." However, the tribute to White House aide Ben Johnson was not divisive, as Johnson suggests, but intended to educate the entire community on issues ranging from the changing roles of black men in society to relations among different races.
At the party on February 5, there was no race-based difference in pricing and a number of black, white, Asian and Hispanic students were in attendance. All members of the University community are welcome at ABHW events.
