A UMass Amherst survey finds that 26% of Black students report feeling like they do not belong on campus compared to 8% of white students.
The day after our interview, Steward and at least three other students received a racist email from a fake sender — similar to a racist message sent last semester. The latest email described Black students as"animals" and said,"You are not in Africa anymore.""It's just simply not true that we have people in administration who are on their side," said Nefertiti Walker, vice chancellor for diversity, equity, and inclusion at UMass.
Since then, her office created the Black Advisory Council, an independent group meant to improve the experiences of Black students on campus. There was also an increase in funding to UMass's Center of Racial Justice. But Amilcar Shabazz, a professor of Afro-American studies who runs the W.E.B. Du Bois Center at UMass, said this response isn’t enough.
