UF participated in #Academics4BlackLives https://www.academics4blacklives.com, on June 19-25, 2020; a personal and professional development initiative intended for academic faculty and staff to examine the toll of racial trauma on Black people, resist anti-Blackness and white supremacy, and seek both accountability and collective action for solutions.
Below are several resources that will help as we begin this process of positive change. Many of these resources have originated from members of our UFCVM community.
