On May 25th, 2020, George Floyd was murdered by police officer Derek Chauven in Minneapolis, Minnesota. So many of us experienced unbelievable sadness, disgust, and frustration at what occurred. Over time, we began to wonder whether George Floyd’s murder might be a catalyst for real change. Immediately after, promises were made by many people, groups, and institutions across Canada (including Ontario Tech University) to commit to combatting anti-Black racism and supporting Black inclusion. But now, as another year passes, do we feel as though any meaningful change has taken place? Were these just promises? Join us on February 3rd for an opportunity to discuss institutional racism and the promise of change in the aftermath of George Floyd.
