CHALK stands with our writers, readers and community members who are calling for accountability, change and anti-racism. From the beginning, we have aimed to share a diversity of experiences and amplify underrepresented voices as we cover life, culture and experience at the University of Kansas. But, there is always room for improvement. If we can do better moving forward, let us know. Leave us a comment, send us a DM or email us at [email protected]. Now and always, Black Lives Matter.
