INTERVIEW WITH ROLAND GIBSON By Rosanna Salcedo
Roland Gibson worked at CSW from 1969 to 1972, serving as one of the school’s first African-American faculty members and administrators. Roland grew up in Cambridge, MA, and attended Rindge Technical High School (now known as Cambridge Rindge and Latin). His freshman year, one of his teachers said to him, “This is a goodlooking report card, boy. You should consider the college program.” Roland received this feedback as encouragement to pursue his highest aspirations.
