    Here's a quote from a Web site, by Marbeth Schon, who has written
    extensively on the Studio Designers of the 40s to 60s: 

          "The Cooper Union was one of the few institutions in mid 20th
          Century America that did not discriminate against African
          Americans (African American jeweler Art Smith received a
          scholarship from the Cooper Union in 1942) and Greenwich
          Village was one of the most racially liberal places in the
          country to live and work." 

    By the way, Art Smith's shop was on West 4th Street.
