Sentiments are not enough. It’s time for action.

Thanks for your voices -- from a continuing faculty member. "We ask you to articulate an action plan for addressing anti-Blackness at Allegheny and affirming that Black lives matter." This has been asked for many times, in campus-wide meetings last fall; the fall before ... we will work.

Thank you alumni for this powerful statement and demand. Thank you Harryette Sunday Johnson for your memory of Allegheny in the 1970s. I, too, recall that the words you mention were stated then and have been stated several times since over the past 50 years. Bill Bywater, emeritus professor of philosophy

Class of 2015 In Allegheny, I found a place that challenged me to think critically and compassionately about the world and its institutions. It is my hope that the college administration takes on this task for itself, and speaks out loudly about injustice. Allegheny must always be working to create a haven for marginalized students, and a place for privileged students to confront their old assumptions. This is not a one time action, nor an action to take only when the headlines inspire it, but a task that has to be worked on every day, for every student.
