A note from Lumina's president | | | | We are pleased to share this podcast series from the education team at American Public Media. Lumina Foundation supported this independent look at the racial climate on college campuses in response to a “Unite the Right” rally in Charlottesville, Virginia. In August 2017, protestors who self-identified as white nationalists, neo-Nazis, and members of other hate groups proudly marched through the University of Virginia campus with torches, bearing weapons and chanting racist and antisemitic slogans. We found the protest unsettling and reprehensible. We are committed to ending systemic inequalities in education that not only weaken the economy but also jeopardize the future of American democracy. And we wanted to better understand how today’s students are encountering race on campus. We invite you to listen and learn. |
