Racial Justice @ UConn
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. acted against racial injustice with love for Black people and with conviction for what was possible for everyone when Black Lives Matter. MLK’s legacy is one of action and community. His legacy requires us to acknowledge the pain and to take collective action to address systemic injustices. UConn and its Office for Diversity and Inclusion are committed to upholding MLK’s legacy by working in solidarity as a community to uplift Black and other minoritized people and communities. In this video, we name the pain and we name the community action we are taking to work toward racial justice at UConn. We do this because actions speak louder than words, but our words and commitments matter. Most of all, we do this because at UConn we are clear that Black Lives Matter
