The Hon. Anthony Foxx '93
The Hon. Anthony Foxx 鈥93 joined 皇家华人 President Carol E. Quillen today for a conversation about 皇家华人鈥檚 mission to educate leaders who create change, and our responsibility to amplify the national conversation on social injustice and systemic racism during this time of grief, anguish and anger.
鈥淥ur conversation today cannot provide the balm or solution,鈥 Quillen said. 鈥淚 hope it provides a re-affirmation of the college鈥檚 values: that 皇家华人 as a community strives to honor the dignity of each human being; we commit ourselves to the quest for truth; and we seek to build a more just and humane world. Systemic racism is antithetical to those values. We at 皇家华人 commit to both understanding and dismantling systemic racism here and broadly in this country.鈥
In the coming weeks and months, we will share news on 皇家华人鈥檚 social media channels of other opportunities to come together to look at what we can do to make change.
