Today I had the honor to take part of the volunteer site on campus by helping out with the mural that will be put in the library. The mural that will be placed in the library is a symbolism from the incident that had happened in the beginning of the year. It was a hate crime that had happened to one of the RA's in her hall where someone or a group of people decided to write degrading things in the room tags of the residents there.
The school never talked to its students about this certain incident that happened because we like to hide things from going public out to the world. I know a lot of the school did not know about this incident and it was obviously because the school and the students were not open to talk about it.
For call to action day the students that attended did their own individual tiles representing the incident or their own diversity. The tiles will be placed as a border around the mural when it is finally up in the library.
Hopefully in the future we make a sort of event about what had happened before and how we can improve the way we deal with these situations.
