Statement to the Illinois Wesleyan Community

Once again, shock at injustice and its aftermath wracks our country and our community, as it has far too many times, this time witnessing the death of George Floyd and the painful response around our country. Yesterday, in the Bloomington/Normal community, we experienced both peaceful and productive protests, and unfortunate incidents of looting and violence. As individuals and as an institution, we, the community of Illinois Wesleyan University, are part of a shared humanity compelled to ask ourselves: Who are we as a people? How can we heal the inequality that wounds us again and again? And: What can I do?
