Since taking office in January, President Trump has pursued policies that have dismantled Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion initiatives, erased Black history from national archives, and terrorized immigrant communities — including the recent deportation of a University of Alabama Ph.D. student.
President Trump has repeatedly failed the American people. His divisive, destructive policies echo a dark chapter of our nation’s history, reminiscent of the segregationist rhetoric of George Wallace. We cannot allow such a figure to serve as a symbol of inspiration to our graduating students — particularly students of color who deserve better.
🗣️ “The decision for students of color, and really all students, should be to skip his speech and spend that time reflecting on how to make America a more inclusive nation,” said NAACP State President Benard Simelton.
We call on all Alabamians and supporters of justice to stand united for equity, truth, and dignity.
