In full support from CUE's staff, Estela Bensimon wrote a letter to demonstrate solidarity for Marissiko Wheaton and Jordan Greer by providing this Thursday & Friday off in recognition of the unique collective trauma they experience as Black people. We share this letter as an example of the work we still need to do, even as a center committed to racial equity. We aim to spark conversations about anti-blackness, #Juneteenth & the well-being of Black/African Americans. bit.ly/CUESolidarityLetter

"In order to teach Black, Latinx, Native American, Asian, and other racially minoritized students with fidelity, professors must develop racial literacy" says Estela Bensimon and James Gray in their recent article "First-Generation Equity Practitioners: Are They Part of the Problem?"
