Eton wrestles with change

AT Eton College – the boarding school in the British countryside that has educated princes and 20 prime ministers – students wear tailcoats and white ties to classes. But some have worn waistcoats with the symbol of Black History Month underneath.

The students still sleep in ivy-covered stone dormitory buildings, some dating to the 18th century. Some of them have rainbow pride flags fluttering from them.
