    when I first heard of the history behind the phrase, I know my pride grew exponentially. one of the places I took pride in during my days at state, was the Robeson center.

    This is why it gets me so upset when people cry racism and ridiculous things in todays world. Penn State is a living embodiment of people coming together to do great things. We have always known this story in my family and we've had great pride in that history. WE ARE!!!!!!!!
