Campus Groups Use ‘Freedom Forum’ To Respond To Recent Racial Incidents
Swastikas spray-painted on three campus buildings. A white groundskeeper tossing a noose on a worktable used by a black co-worker. Chalk messages saying “Build the Wall” and “Trump Deportation Force” written on sidewalks in front of the building that houses the Department of Latina/Latino Studies. Associate Professor of African-American Studies Erik McDuffie discusses these University of Illinois Urbana campus incidents and the "Freedom Forum" his department hosted in response with Illinois Public Media's Brian Moline.
