INCREDIBLE thread from Jarrett Drake, an archivist at Princeton who worked on the Wilson exhibit - read this powerful account of Drake’s experience here. Thank you for your solidarity @jmddrake

I had not heard about it. But yes you remember correctly. I was conscripted into the "Wilson" exhibit in 2016 and proposed that it focus specifically on his racism and its lingering impacts. That didn't happen. Here's why (thread).

[Change Princeton Now @ChangePtonNow]

@PrincetonSPIA announced via email to its graduate students that they have approved the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion core curriculum requirement for which students have been advocating over the years.

Incredible letter sent to the University from @Princeton faculty last Friday. We demand UNIVERSITY-WIDE CHANGES.

Donate to BJL via Cash App: $BJL15.

“Proceeds will go toward paying off BJL members’ student loans + the mutual aid fund, For the Gworls.”

[Change Princeton Now @ChangePtonNow]

Read the statement from the Black Justice League. “We are less than convinced that this cosmetic change...does much more than obfuscate centuries of inaction and apathy toward the anti-Black racism that remains pervasive at Princeton University.”

Very long overdue and made possible by the Black students, organizations, and faculty members whose voices and demands for justice were ignored for years. Also, it is not an "extraordinary measure" to condemn racism.

[Eddie S. Glaude Jr. @esglaude]

Student activists helped make this possible. Wow.

[Samantha Smith, PhD @SNSmithSNS]

4 years apart.

If you were on campus in 2016, you know that the Princeton BJL is owed a sincere apology.

Here's to progress.

Rephrase: Princeton actively targeted, harrassed, and alienated members of the Black Justice League and other students fighting this war on campus after the murder of Mike Brown.

[monica huerta @drmonicahuerta]

A moment!! And in respect to their student activism, all that’s left to be done (by @changewwsnow)

[Imani Perry @imaniperry]

That group of committed students faced resistance from *every* quarter, and yet they facilitated so much change at Princeton. They are forever an important part of the institution’s history.

[Imani Perry @imaniperry]

Thank you to the student org “Black Justice League” for laying the foundation for this essential change. Your work was never in vain 💙

[a dad @papapookie88]

yall owe a public apology to the organizers of the Black Justice League for your racist treatment of them five years ago when they raised this issue
