UC College of Arts and Sciences releases statement on equity, inclusion and excellence
June 25, 2020
Today we celebrate Juneteenth, the day in 1865 when Union Army General Gordon Granger read the federal proclamation of freedom from slavery in Galveston, Texas, two years after President Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation. Now 155 years later, we feel it is important for us to make public our position and commitment to be a more just and inclusive civic and educational community.
