I'm trying to understand why with rising numbers of COVID cases @MasonSchools would make masking optional when we return in Spring. Who are we getting advice from? This is disappointing and dangerous.

Today I was lectured by a white man about rights that "anyone working for any length of time fighting for oppressed or marginalized people should understand" I can't make this violence up. #NextLivesHere

Justice has prevailed in the case against #GeorgeFloyds killer #DerekChauvin, but the work is not done! We must keep fighting to end qualified immunity, and we must get #PoliceReformNOW.

I'm tired of sitting in front of the TV waiting to see if Black Lives will be valued. Mostly because I already know the answers 🤷🏾♀️

Man this is an on time word here. Even when we are better credentialed we don't get to compete. And don't get me started on the woman referenced here were it not for her parentage she wouldn't be where she is. #ThisIsAmerica
White folks have spent hundreds of years using brutality and institutional racism to guarantee they never have to compete with people of color on a level playing field, and this one has the nerve to insinuate including people of color is somehow lowering standards.

Leadership looks like action
Virginia State University has announced that it will remove the name from four buildings on the VSU campus. The VSU Board of Visitors recently approved the removal of signs identifying Byrd Hall, Eggleston Hall, Trinkle Hall and Vawter Hall.
