A poor and oppressed leader with brown skin once prayed that his followers would be together, that they would be one, not the same but one. He is doing this @WashburnUniv great article @wureview https://t.co/l8KInQZ2QF

[Steve Hageman @HisProf1974]

A good explanation about who gets to use particular words and why. Luckily Coates will be on campus later this semester. #WUCanDoBetter https://t.co/38ZELzyh8o

@HisProf1974 When will he be on campus?

[Washburn Student Gov @yourWSGA]

Two resolutions that came out of tonight’s talks and discussion. We’re proud to bring these to you with our continued commitment to Washburn’s values.

Thank y’all for coming out tonight and sharing your stories and ideas for change. We are grateful for @DrEGrospitch and @AlanBearman1 attending on behalf of administration in order to hear from students. Good talk, but we aren’t just going to talk about we’re going to be about it

[Washburn Young Life @WashburnYL]

Tonight we will be discussing how #wucandobetter for students of color on campus. Regardless of whether or not you have been to Young Life College we would love for you to join us! Excited for our faculty advisor @alanbearman1 to join us!

#WUCanDoBetter I am surprised that Washburn, to my knowledge, did so little for Black History Month.

[Darby Toth @TothDarby]

I was super disappointed in a particular campaign for the Senate election on campus. “Build the wall” as your campaign slogan is not only unoriginal as hell, but it’s disgusting. No wonder there is a massive under-representation in student gov for POC. Distasteful. #WUCanDoBetter

[Mayela Campa @MayelaCampa]

We just got finished talking about discrimination and the racial issues at Washburn. I then go and vote for student government and see that a senator is running on the platform of ‘build the wall’. #WUCanDoBetter

[Jim Henry Jr @JimHenryJr]

It's night like this that I become overtly aware of my privilege. I do my best to be proactive about diversity and inclusion, but I admit that my words do not always carry action. We have no more excuses, it's time for change. #WUCanDoBetter #WUWILLDoBetter

When Lincoln Hall first opened and we had that incident where some students were yelling build the wall and other derogatory terms directed at hispanics, a lot of my undocumented friends didnt attend school that whole week bcus they were scarred. #WUCanDoBetter

Lets also no forget when BSU did a flash mob in the union, and instead of it being a cute little show, the student body decided to taunt them and talk mad stuff, talking about “who opened the gates of the ferguson zoo” and calling them derogatory term as well. #WUCanDoBetter
