Hundreds of Hamilton students, faculty, and staff denounce unwarranted and racially disproportionate police violence and pledge to promote the public good. The following statement was prepared by a group of faculty and staff members as a call for campus solidarity.
A Collective Condemnation of Racist Police Violence
We, the undersigned members of the Hamilton College campus community, individually and collectively recognize the latest tragic results of systemic racism as a wake-up call that compels us to make the widespread protests and public condemnations of racist police violence a watershed moment that sparks sober self-reflection and meaningful forms of social action.
As a national institution of higher learning, one that prides itself on its emphasis on ethical and engaged citizenship, the time to fully and forcefully match words with deeds is now.
More specifically, we hereby condemn the systemic procedures and practices that synergistically foster unwarranted and racially disproportionate state sanctioned uses of deadly force and inhibit legal efforts to hold those who employ it fully accountable.
Additionally, we pledge to lead or lend support to local, state, and nationwide efforts to ensure that all who are sworn to serve and protect do so faithfully and that those whose racist actions besmirch the reputations of so many officers who do are rightly prosecuted and punished.
Let this be the moment that all Hamiltonians on the Hill and beyond denounce unwarranted and racially disproportionate police violence and pledge to promote the public good.
Let this be the moment that all Hamiltonians distinguish themselves as committed to equity and justice.
In solidarity,
McKinley Abernethy
