In response to the killing of George Floyd and others, and the systemic inequalities faced by Black people and people of color in America, the ICC endorses the following CANE statement.
The ICC, too, “unequivocally condemns police brutality and believes Black lives matter. The field of classics must end white silence about societal injustice.”
The ICC encourages members to make use of “Black-Centered Resources for Ancient Mediterranean Studies” compiled by Zoé Elise Thomas.
In addition to this public statement, the ICC would like to call for volunteers to work on a specific action plan to increase diversity and inclusion within the organization. If you are interested, please contact Prof. Ariana Traill at traill@illinois.edu
