以已故科学家Rosalind Franklin命名、位于美国北芝加哥的Rosalind Franklin大学支持“黑人的命也是命”运动。
该大学在6月12日发出的声明中一开始就表示:“让我们清晰而强烈地声明:黑人的命也是命。”
该声明说:“基于此宣言的历史性的运动在继续发展,对社会产生正面的影响,并推动人类往前走。”
该声明还说:“我们是专注于消除系统性种族歧视的同盟。”
Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine and Science's Statement of Support for Black Lives Matter
Let us state this simply but strongly: Black Lives Matter.
The historic movement founded on that declaration continues to grow in both its positive influence on society and its value in moving humanity forward. In the aftermath of the deaths of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbury, Laquan McDonald and far too many others, the administration, students, faculty, scientists, staff, and alumni of Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine and Science pledge their support for Black Lives Matter, and we are allies focused on eliminating systemic racism.
The RFU community has a longstanding and long-stated commitment to core values that include diversity, civility and integrity. We vow to work both within and outside of our campus to uphold and model these values, which are the foundation of a truly equitable society -- one that secures the health, safety and well-being of all citizens.
Rosalind Franklin University is resolved to be a catalyst for change. |
