Not everything that is faced can be changed. But nothing can be changed until it is faced"
-- James Baldwin.
In these troubling times, it is increasingly obvious that silence is tantamount to complicity. If we do not object to objectionable events, we are tacitly condoning them, and as such we have an obligation to use platforms that are available to us. It is the responsibility of those in privilege to speak up. In that light we would like to express our horror and dismay at the recent, and not-so-recent, brutal attacks on George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, Sandra Bland, Trayvon Martin, Freddie Gray, Eric Garner, Michael Brown, Tamir Rice, Philando Castile, Amadou Diallo, and so many others, many of whom we will never hear about. While some of us in the ivory tower like to think of ourselves as far-removed from this type of racism, we are of course not, as we all have biases both large and small. As such, it behooves us to consider these events and our own actions, and how we can work to create a more just, equitable and safe society. The global outrage generated by these horrific events is an opportunity to effect change. Racism remains after media coverage ceases, and it is our responsibility to ensure equality and respect are provided to those around us. We are committed to building an equitable and diverse workplace and progressing towards a fairer world.
