A message from UC President Drake to the UC community on racial violence and Tyre Nichols
Dear colleagues,
By now you have heard about or seen the disgusting and dehumanizing violence shown in the video of Tyre Nichols’ killing, which was released today by Memphis officials.
I am sickened and outraged by this utterly senseless killing, as we all have been by too many others that have preceded it. It is yet another painful reminder of the constant flow of systemic racism and injustice that communities of color continue to endure.
