The Minds to Fight Campus Racism held its first meeting
Thursday to discuss ways on stopping racism on the University of Mississippi
campus.
Made up of faculty, staff, and students, the Minds to Fight
Campus racism is an organization that was formed by sociology professor, James
Thomas, and academic director of the William Winter Institute for Racial
Reconciliation, with the idea of stopping racism on campus through networking
and different sources.
Although many argue that there has been some progression,
Thomas and Stollman said that it is still time for a change
“Yes, we have people of color in predominantly white
sororities or fraternities and we have people of color holding authoritative positions but it’s
not enough,” Thomas said.
Through networking with different faculty, staff, and
students, Stollman and Thomas hope to form new resources that will hopefully
lead to several events in effort to end racism.
