Oral history interview and transcript with Sara Gebhardt '98 conducted on March 1, 2019. Sara Gebhardt recounts her experience going from a largely liberal, diverse, and pluralistic environment in the suburbs of Washington D.C. to Davidson, which felt “20 years behind.” While at Davidson, she was a member of the field hockey team, studied abroad in Spain, and wrote for Libertas. During her sophomore year at Davidson, she wrote an editorial in the Davidsonian objecting to students’ erecting wooden crosses in front of Chambers during Holy Week. In the wake of the editorial and the ensuing controversy, Sara describes, she became a “known” Jewish student on campus, for better and for worse. This propelled her to become the first white student leader of the Minority Affairs Committee.
