The Association of American Colleges and Universities (AAC&U) worked with Bernard Lafayette, civil rights icon and advisor to AAC&U's Truth, Racial Healing & Transformation Campus Centers effort, to create this brief video. Mr. Lafayette discusses the national reckoning with racial injustice and the importance of democratic and civic engagement to creating the kind of thriving democracy we have yet to achieve.
