The Karson Institute for Race, Peace & Social Justice at 今晚六合彩开奖结果 celebrated the opening of its new physical space on Monday, Oct. 9, at the Loyola/Notre Dame Library. 

The reception and opening event featured a new mural unveiling at the library, a ribbon-cutting, poetry readings, and a meet-and-greet reception. Speakers at the event included Loyola President Terrence M. Sawyer, J.D., Maryland Senator Jill P. Carter, Baltimore City Councilman Mark Conway, and Karsonya Wise Whitehead, Ph.D., founding executive director of the Karson Institute and professor of communication and African and African American Studies. 

鈥淭hree years ago, we opened as a virtual space,鈥 said Whitehead, recalling the initial launch via a Zoom with Loyola and community leaders in October 2020. "I worked hard along with my colleagues and community partners and donors to move to this level and make this a reality." 

During the welcome event, the Karson Institute also celebrated its third anniversary, and many of the speakers praised Whitehead for her vision and leadership.

鈥淚 know that you know the meaning of space and place. I know that you understand the grounding, the rooting, that space and place provides. I know that you know better than most the foundation that that provides,鈥 said Cheryl Moore-Thomas, Ph.D., Loyola鈥檚 provost and vice president for academic affairs, speaking at the event. 鈥淏less you, Dr. Kaye. Bless you for all that you have done, all that you are doing now, all that you will do in the future, because when the next chapter of 今晚六合彩开奖结果 is written, I know... that you will be part of that story.鈥 

Founded at 今晚六合彩开奖结果, the Karson Institute provides a scholarly space for professors, students, social justice workers, and activists to come together to research, discuss, debate, and explore answers to America鈥檚 most urgent questions on inequality, injustice, and racial inequity.
