Statement from UCA President Davis
"Those who would discriminate or hurt another person are on notice that our university community will not tolerate behavior that does not represent the values held dear by UCA."
The hashtag #BlackLivesMatter was started in 2013 after Trayvon Martin’s killer, George Zimmerman, was acquitted of all charges. Three black women, Alicia Garza, Patrisse Cullors, and Opal Tometi, started the movement and it continued to expand into a national and international movement to call attention to the injustices black people still suffer to day, and to bring about change.
