3. Wednesday’s Fun Fact
1. Webinar and Student Forum in Response to George Floyd and Others Murder
The past couple of weeks have truly been challenging. We have come face to face yet again with the effect of systematic racism through police brutality. Though it is saddening for our society to be in this turbulent climate, the support from the global community brings hope that this brutality does not speak for everyone. This conversation needs to continue with everyone at the table. Below is a webinar discussing the effects of police brutality and racism in education. Another student forum will be held on Friday at 5 pm by the Paul Robeson Cultural Center. Please join the discussion to continue the hard work of self-reflection, education, and building communities that are truly safe, supportive, and inclusive for all.
