Different is not bad. Our campus likes to call it diversity. They see us as black, white and when we make enough noise, Asian-American. I believe the lines are harder to draw. Every single member of our campus community is an individual with experiences, knowledge and culture to share.
Every single person is diverse and deserves to be understood and respected.
Our staff has shared one goal - to inform the diverse campus community. We have been a tool for everyone on campus to use, to learn about cultural differences and the issues and struggles we share in common. We have achieved a lot this year to further our goal. We watched as thousands of African-American women gathered in Philadelphia for the Million Woman March. We documented a local Ku Klux Klan rally protesting Black History Month.
