Letter of solidarity from Princeton students

As members of the Princeton University undergraduate student body, we all stand in solidarity with the Black community. We condemn the violent mistreatment and senseless murder of Black individuals by the police and the systemic oppression and racism that has long targeted Black lives. We believe Black Lives Matter and know that the Black students within our classes are integral members of our campus community.

The University has had a notably troubled, exclusionary history and has benefited from this exclusion for far too long. Our university was built off of the institution of slavery and racial oppression. As students today, we are reminded of the University’s mission to be “in the nation’s service and the service of humanity.”

Now is a time in which both the nation and humanity need us, and we are resolved to promote the values of diversity and inclusivity that make our community great. We will continue to create and engage in productive and critical discourse about racism and other forms of structural oppression and systematic inequalities that affect us, our communities, our nation, and humanity.

As students, activists, and proponents of a better world, it is our duty to stand up against injustice and fight for the equal treatment of all. We pledge to fight against people and systems that marginalize and mistreat people on the basis of race or any other characteristic. We will continue to be agents of change in promoting justice and equality, both through our academic work and our community interactions, locally and globally. 

In the short term, recent events, including the murder of George Floyd, have made clear the need to support movements both financially and with our time that are empowering Black lives. We pledge that we will take this moment as an opportunity to donate to victims of racialized violence and their families, Black-owned businesses, and organizations that promote the mission of equality. We also pledge to educate ourselves on the long history of oppression that the Black community has faced in the U.S., and the privileges that non-Black students have within that system. 

As Eddie Glaude, Princeton professor and chair of the African American Studies Department wrote, “The task at hand is not about securing the goodness of the American Idea or about perfecting the union. It is about according dignity and standing to all Americans no matter the color of their skin.” We hope to stand in solidarity with the many across our nation who are working towards this goal. 

We call upon local, state, and federal officials to condemn racially-motivated actions and conduct hearings on those involved in all racial injustice, including inequalities in voting access, healthcare, and housing.

We call upon our fellow students to join us in our efforts to create a more equal world. We call upon you to stand up and fight for justice. We call upon you to be informed agents of change and stand up against those that act oppressively. We call upon you to work together to help dismantle the systems of oppression that have plagued us as a nation for far too long. 

With strength and solidarity,

Princeton University Undergraduate Students
