Assume racism is everywhere, every day.
If you aren鈥檛 already assuming racism is everywhere, every day then start today. See how it feels to you. That may not be your first thought. You may not be comfortable with it, but learning starts with trying ideas that aren鈥檛 your first ideas.
We are all here to learn. Face the messy, difficult questions you may have. Take risks. If you want to be an ally, as I do, but, like me, don鈥檛 always know how, consider checking out some of the resources online such as the available on or the from Paul Kivel on .
As our students on Twitter and other social media platforms have reminded us, posting a quote or a black square isn鈥檛 enough to stop racism. Maybe it's a start. Remember and repeat the names of George Floyd, Sandra Bland, and too many others.
Take care of each other. I believe this is what striving for more meaningful work can help us to do.

"We must continue to remember how we have come to this place. But more importantly, we must ask ourselves as individuals, as a campus, and as a nation: How do we come together in one unified loud voice and with deliberate non-violent actions to put a stop to inequality and injustice where it takes place and to whomever it affects."
