Look, from the beginning I’ve always said this plaza was performative. Did I enjoy it being here while it lasted…yes. Am I mad it’s going away…no. Because regardless if 16 St. says BLM or not, our city has done virtually little to keep Black Residents Safe.

I’m so excited to see what Pres. Edington brings to UDC. For too long it’s has been dubbed the “13th grade” and UDC is so much more than what you hear. This is our flagship university and we should be proud of it!
