The other black student in Cedric’s unit during his freshman year at Brown, Chiniqua also comes from a working-class background. She has spent more time around middle- and upper-class kids, however, because she was picked to attend a prestigious prep school in Manhattan, where she gained the academic and social skills to succeed at a college like Brown. She and Cedric go on a date in the spring of their freshman year, and he begins to see the value of spending time with other black students; Chiniqua takes Cedric to Harambee House, the all-black dorm on campus, and helps him find a way to be comfortable with being black at Brown.
