Mark doesn't expect any problems in going to college: he and his friend have reserved places in Harvard and his parents have the money to pay for his education there. But suddenly his father's neurotic psychiatrist advises him to go on vacation in Hawaii instead of spending more money on his son. Since Mark wants to keep his lifestyle, including a fancy car and a flat shared with his friend, he seeks financial support. The only foundation which still accepts applications is for blacks only -- no problem, with lots of bronzing pills and "soul in his voice" he sets out to Harvard. Soon he has to realize that being black will cause some people to handle him differently. 　　译文(2): 马克认为上大学不会有什么问题: 他和他的朋友已经在哈佛大学预定了名额，他的父母有钱支付他在那里的学费。但是他父亲的精神病医生突然建议他去夏威夷度假，而不是在儿子身上花更多的钱。由于马克想保持自己的生活方式，包括一辆豪车和一套与朋友合租的公寓，所以他寻求经济支持。唯一仍然接受申请的基金会只接受黑人申请——没有问题，有很多古铜色的药丸和“灵魂在他的声音”他出发去哈佛。很快他就会意识到，作为一个黑人，有些人会对他另眼相看。
