"Academics cannot stay silent about anti-Black racism, nor can they remain silent in the face of racial violence and injustice. We need to engage in the critical work to dismantle anti-Black racism within ourselves, others, and in the system."
-Jeannette Mejia, University of Florida Counseling Psychology Doctoral Student
In this blog post, I share a recent report which says that Americans are less fervent about their country now than they’ve been in the recent past.
