This joint statement, written by a group of Black and Brown Duke students and faculty, marks four years since the murder of George Floyd by police in Minneapolis, Minnesota, on May 25, 2020. The statement, cosigned by six faculty, staff and student groups, including Duke Academics and Staff for Justice in Palestine, makes connections between continuing violence against Black communities and larger systems of oppression and makes a series of demands of Duke University.
