Diversity and Equity – Black Lives Matter

 

We condemn the grave injustices that black people confront in this country, in particular the unbridled and deplorable police brutality and express our sorrow about the many lives this has taken, compounded by lack of equal healthcare, housing and  employment that is causing more illness and death among black people during COVID19; racial profiling, mass incarcerations, wrongful convictions and many more injustices and no end in sight for 400 years.
