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.

Celebrating Black Voices

JAMES BALDWIN
|
|
|
|
Considered one of the greatest writers of the 20th Century, James Baldwin wrote numerous essays, plays, and novels voicing the pain and struggles of Black Americans. One of his most well-known books, The Fire Next Time (1963), explored his own Black identity along with his experience growing up in a religious household in Harlem, his encounter with the Nation of Islam, and exploration of the overall state of racial tension present within the United States at the time. Consider checking out one of his many notable works.
