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.

BAYARD RUSTIN
|
|
|
|
Bayard Rustin was an LGBTQ and civil rights activist who was a key advisor to Reverend Martin Luther King Jr. He organized and led multiple protests, including the 1963 March on Washington. Rustin was influential to the civil rights movement because he helped introduce nonviolent protest methods as a form of protest. However, it was not until 2013 that Rustin received the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation's highest civilian honor, for his activism posthumously.
