CDI MISSION STATEMENT:
|
|
|
|
The Center for Diversity and Inclusion (CDI) mission is to empower Truman State University community by dismantling disparities which prohibit fair and inclusive access to our resources, services, and programs, simultaneously strengthening the interpersonal relationships with historically unrepresented and systematically minoritized students. CDI believes it is the responsibility of every individual to intentionally contribute attitudes of open-mindedness that helps foster a culture of respect, inclusion, and belonging. Through academically, socially, and culturally responsive programming, CDI will continue to encourage students, administrators, faculty, and staff at Truman State University to engage in meaningful, transformative experiences while celebrating personal uniqueness and communal solidarity.

JEAN-MICHEL BASQUIAT
|
|
|
Jean-Michel Basquiat was a Haitian/Puerto Rican American artist known for his neo-expressionist painting and graffiti art. He was also part of a New York graffiti artist duo with Al Díaz and used “SAMO©” throughout lower Manhattan and Brooklyn to tag his work. His art dealt with themes of colonialism, racism, and classism. Basquiat was and still is considered a groundbreaking artist in the neo-expressionism art movement despite his short-lived life.
