Concordia University apologizes to Black communities for its history of anti-Black racism. It notes that institutional racism persists in higher education today
Montreal’s Concordia University issued a formal apology to Black communities on Friday for the harm caused by institutional racism and in particular for events that led to a landmark 1969 student protest.
“I hope that the ability to execute the recommendations will make us a better university, to make us a truly welcoming university where everyone, regardless of their identity or background, has the chance to flourish,” Carr said in an interview. “I hope that people who are still alive, who experienced those events, and subsequent generations of Black students, staff, family members of the larger community who have been looking at the university will have a sense of satisfaction or understanding and be welcoming to the fact that the university has finally owned up to that history,” Carr said.
She said the apology would not erase the damage caused but would allow for some closure. She explained that the apology was one of the first recommendations the task force submitted, and she said the task force met directly with people affected by the events in 1969.
