Students denounce Sen. Ted Cruz '92, Princeton Planning Board approves new University soccer fields, Arrival Quarantine continues on campus. The latest from The Daily Princetonian.
This past Monday, Americans observed Martin Luther King Jr. Day. While many view this day as a time to celebrate the racial progress we have made as a nation since King’s assassination in 1968, the events of the past few months have made clear that the time for celebration has not yet arrived.

In the last week of my religion class — REL 364: Love and Justice, taught by Professor Eric Gregory — we discussed “The Hidden Wound” by Wendell Berry, an essay detailing the damage racism has inflicted on America. In the opening paragraph, Berry states that he too had long been “unwilling until now to open in [himself]” a “historical wound, prepared centuries ago to come alive in [him] at [his] birth like a hereditary disease.” Berry’s acknowledgement of the historical wound, white supremacy, that lies within the consciousness of every American has never been more relevant than in contemporary discourse surrounding the storming of the United States Capitol.

“Princeton in the Nation's Service” is more than a motto. It is a sacred and honored vow of our University community to use our skills and resources to serve our country and humanity. As alumni, we are honored by those of us who have taken this vow to heart and contributed so much to our country. This, above all else, is what makes us the proudest for having attended Princeton: to know that so many of our own have worked to make our neighborhoods, our country, and our world a better place.
