The Center for 21st Century Studies (C21) has for more than 50 years been committed to fostering innovative research at the intersection of the humanities, arts and sciences and supporting University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee faculty and graduate students. In keeping with this mission C21 is collecting statements of solidarity issued by UWM departments, centers, and schools in response to the recent Black Lives Matter protests in the wake of the killing of George Floyd. We will update this list as we learn of more. For posterity, we have also included the full text of each statement on our blog.
