“The tragic events that have transpired in
recent weeks have further illuminated a
spotlight on the racial divide that exists
in our nation. Brutal and often senseless
scenes have unfolded, highlighted by
what was witnessed in Minneapolis
last week. The cry for justice has been
immediate and witnessed throughout
the country. Louisiana State University
stands with those who want a more just
and humane society. We do so with
civility, with compassion, and with a
desire to seek understanding.”
