Once again, we bear witness to racial injustice that has plagued our society for generations. Thousands of people have taken to the streets in protest. President Aoun, in his email to the Northeastern Community, has called for June 8th to be a Day of Reflection, Engagement, and Action. PTP would like to take this opportunity to engage our learning community in dialogue about racism and social justice. Our conversations should be honest, intentional, and impactful. We have listed some resources below to start the conversation.
