ACT Press Release 2/27

” We have a responsibility as a university to ensure progress and a positive atmosphere for every student on campus. This means owning up to UGA’s history and giving appropriate honor to those that gave their lives to build this school that we hold so dear. Accountability matters. ”

From ACT’s website: Advocate for the creation of a formal Commission on Slavery for the University of Georgia to consider an appropriate, holistic recognition of UGA’s past. This includes, but is not limited to, UGA’s past with slavery, Jim Crow, the marginalization of Native Americans, and more.
