On May 25, Mr. George Floyd died in police custody in Minneapolis. Since his wrongful death, emotions have run high across our country. And on Sunday, May 31, Greenville and East Carolina University experienced the local version of a national movement in direct response to the death of Mr. Floyd. To say the very least, these are challenging times as we all try to cope with injustice and crises. Emotions are running high with anger, grief and disappointment.
Â
ECU is empathetic to the plight of those who suffer from bias and inequality as Mr. Floyd did. As a community, we aspire to embrace our differences as we value and respect every individual. We encourage our students to live purposeful lives and to serve as role models in our communities.
Â
As a university community, we are deeply saddened by the lives senselessly taken and communities thrown into chaos across our country. The current national injury will take time and deliberative effort to heal. ECU is committed to participating in that healing. We remain vigilant in channeling our emotions to more positive ends and helping others to do the same.
Â
As a university, we must rise to the challenge that this historic moment presents. Let this lead us to work together to be the change we want to see in our community.
