Albert Brody was a student from fall of 1946 to winter of 1948. He shared in his application that he wanted to attend BMC after he was discharged from the Navy.
He worked in the library while a student, but wasn't listed in any other activities on campus. He attended Mexico City College after BMC and was expelled for stirring up local veteran organizations against the school. Black Mountain faculty also voted to let Brody go after he asked for a leave of absence, as they felt he wasn't a good fit for the school.
