On June 3rd, the UCI Humanities Center welcomed a panel of UCI Professors to discuss the persistence of anti-black violence and harm during the COVID-19 pandemic. These professors, Jessica Millward (History), Tiffany Willoughby-Herard (African American Studies), and Sabrina Strings (Sociology), shared powerful comments on the concepts of mourning and self-care, historical context for the moment we're living in, and prose/poetry from Toni Morrison and Assata Shakur.
