From Ferguson to O’Kelly

By Max Garland

Elon University’s discussion of race for the 2014-15 academic year began in August with the national story of Ferguson and Michael Brown. It closed May 12 with a rally for respect and racial equality on its campus. Racial activism was present on campus throughout the year. More than 200 people were a part of a “Hands Up, Don’t Shoot” group photo in August. A silent protest was staged for racial equality in December during the annual Luminaries celebration. The first part of Elon’s “The N-Word Forum,” an interactive discussion on the racial slur, was held April 30. Recent incidents of racism both locally and nationally spurred marches, forums, vigils and speeches at Elon this year — but according to Associate Chaplain for Protestant Life Joel Harter, these times aren’t any different than the past.
