LEEDS Trinity University is hosting an online event to mark the anniversary of George Floyd’s death and provide a platform for Black staff, students and alumni to share their lived experiences.
Leeds Trinity will host Black Lives Matter: Accountability, Transparency, Action, with staff, students and alumni sharing their experiences, commemorating George Floyd and other Black lives, and reflect on the resurgence of the Black Lives Matter movement.The event, which will be delivered remotely on Wednesday, May 26 from 9am to 2pm, is free to attend.
Professor Charles Egbu, Vice-Chancellor at Leeds Trinity University, said: “At Leeds Trinity University, we have taken positive steps forward towards race equality in higher education, but acknowledge the progress we still need to make.
"Following our achievement of the Race Equality Charter Bronze award last year, we are committed to holding ourselves accountable and continuing the conversation internally and across the sector in order to drive real change.I’m looking forward to sharing my thoughts on race inequality at this event, but more importantly hearing from Black students, alumni and colleagues about their lived experiences.”
