Ginsberg
I fixed the wiki link, but can anyone make it better? I mean, Allen Ginsberg should take one directly to his page, eh?

I fixed the Ginsberg link I believe. Yes, I was wondering the same thing: why isn't it taking us directly to his page. I had to erase the link completely. Save the page, and then add it again. I noticed that in the edit page on my Mozilla connection, but not on the Explorer connection, that there was a small mark ~> ` <~ like the one to the left. Somehow this was interfering with making a sound link. Christian Roess 16:21, 7 April 2006 (UTC)
Ginsberg has been removed from the page as he never set foot on the BMC campus. He is associated with the Black Mountain Poets due to his involvement with Olson's Black Mountain Review, not the college. Cpfffr (talk) 17:05, 16 November 2019 (UTC)

is University of California, Santa Cruz really considered an alternative school? —The preceding
Location of college
I think it would be more fair to say that Black Mountain College was in Black Mountain rather than near Asheville. The area where it once was is now Camp Rockmont. —The preceding

Several of the current citation needed tags are unnecessary. Most, if not all, of this information is common knowledge.Josh a brewer (talk) 11:24, 24 August 2008 (UTC)
Why did it close?
Shouldn't this be included? Just saying it had a short history and not explaining why leaves the reader wanting an explanation. --
Blackmountain as prototype
Black Mountain proved to be an important precursor to and prototype for many of the alternative colleges of today ranging from Naropa University, the University of California, Santa Cruz, and Marlboro College to Evergreen State College, Bennington College, Shimer College, Prescott College, Goddard College, and New College of Florida, among others...

Black students
According to Anne Chesky Smith's Black Mountain College
- @Ashley Pomeroy: It's been a while since this comment & you might have gotten an answer to your question already, but yes, racial segregation in schools was the norm for Southern US states prior to the Civil Rights era. It was ruled unconstitutional in 1954. There is a great article by Micah Wilford Wilkins that goes into a lot more detail about the integration of Black Mountain College: http://www.blackmountainstudiesjournal.org/volume6/6-17-micah-wilkins/ Cpfffr (talk) 16:30, 16 November 2019 (UTC)

Major Article in today’s New York Times
Online today; to be published in their T Style magazine tomorrow. Lots of grist for the ‘article expansion mill’ — to distort an old agrarian saying. I’m just a copy editor, but if someone wants to incorporate this excellent RS into moving this article up the assessment ladder, I can provide a copy through the Times subscription gifting system if necessary. WP probably has a deal with the NYT, but —- as a newby user/editor —- I am offering to assist if appropriate. Cheers, Left Central (talk) 17:09, 9 July 2022 (UTC)
