Campus to Speak Out on racism
Staff report
UK's Speak Out session today will focus on healing the racism on campus and in the community of Lexington, a University official said yesterday.
Moderator Larry Johnson, a UK computin g center employee, will ask Speak Out participants a series of questions. The session will be held on the 18th floor of Patterson Office Tower, said Mary Burg, assistant to Chancellor for the Lexington Campus Robert Hemenway.
All students, faculty and staff and members of the community are invited to attend UK's Speak Out, which will begins about 3:30 p.m. and end at 5 p.m. The POT space can accommodate about 100 people, and admission is free, Burg said.
During a Speak Out session, participants resp ond freely to the moderator's questions. This year's topic is healing racism and other divisions in Lexington. The sessions began in January and end today after more than 100 organizations across the city have participated, said Mayor Pam Miller's spokesw oman Dottie Bean.
UK scheduled this session two weeks ago after several weeks of planning. Burg said her office initially planned an all-day Speak Out session, but because of resource constraints settled for the hour-and-a-half time.
