Addressing structural racism, particularly anti-Black racism, is an urgent national need. Members of the university community are encouraged to further learn about and engage with antiracist concepts, techniques, and best practices. In doing so, we sustain the practice of research and scholarship, education, preservation, and practice, and help support a sense of belonging for every member of the community.
