GREEN BAY, Wis. (WFRV) – The president of the Black Student Union is determined to create as many spaces as possible where fellow black students can talk about their values and culture with people who have gone through a similar life experience.
“I haven’t had a black teacher once in my life, and I’ve gone to Green Bay schools and UWGB my entire life,” explained Hannah Beauchamp-Pope. “We’ve had to create entire programming events for incidents. Racist incidents right here on this campus.”
She says it comes down to sometimes difficult conversations . . .
