KU students, alumni share experiences being #BlackatKU
As the national conversation on racial discrimination continues, Black KU students, staff, faculty and alumni are sharing their experiences of racism, microaggressions and tokenism at the University with the hashtag #BlackatKU.
The hashtag was created by Tiara Floyd, c’20, the 2019-20 student body president. She was the first woman of color elected to that position.
