Description An account of the resource As University of Richmond students watched the televised Black Action Movement at the University of Massachusetts, discussions and debates followed regarding instances of racism happening on campus. Sociology professors Henry Stewart and Willie Dell, alongside Westhampton College students, Richmond College students, and members of the Minority Student Union (MSU) all gathered in the Gottwald Science Center auditorium to kickstart a special report titled ‘Racism 101’. This panel created a space in which individuals shared personal opinions and experiences about integration, racism, and racial climates within the academic institution. Many different perspectives on racial issues were brought to light as one student claimed that, “everyone wants to interact,” while another stated that, “not everyone wants to integrate.” This organized program inspired students to challenge the inherent systemic racism found at the University.

Mba-Jonas responds by outlining the history of racism and discrimination specifically at the University of Richmond, which he believes to be “…a college for blond hair and blue eyes.” He further points out the systemic racial inequities apparent at the University, from the all-white police force to the majority white dining hall management over a mostly black staff. He describes an encounter with the campus police after a white female student had reported Mba-Jonas just for walking by her dormitory, an experience that Mba-Jonas says is unique to his status as a black man on campus.

Description An account of the resource In this letter, senior Coretta Fitzgerald expresses her “surprise and dismay” at many of the flyers and posters she had put up for the Martin Luther King Day Celebration being torn down two hours after she put them up. She explained that some of them were taken down and returned to the Minority Student Union’s mailbox because they were “hung in the wrong places.” However, she felt that the rest that were taken down were because people did not support an event that celebrated a Black man. She continues by saying that though diversifying the student body should be supported, it would not change the attitudes of many racist students at the University.
