There are no African Americans in Rumson. I wonder what the percentage is of African American students enrolled at these colleges? Races in Philadelphia:
Black 43.2%
White Non-Hispanic 42.5%
Hispanic 8.5%
Other race 4.8%
Two or more races 2.2%
Chinese 1.2%
Other Asian 0.9%

Races in Rumson

Two or more races 0.5%

I hope the athletic directors can see that numbers don't lie. There are no African Americans in Rumson. I wonder what the percentage is of African American students enrolled at these colleges?

The Grand Valley State University Rowing Club will definitely participate in this years event in Rumson, NJ with the fastest Dad Vail level crews that wish to race.
