We support the sit-in in Allen
On Friday afternoon, nine Duke students initiated a sit-in at the Allen building in order to draw attention both to their continuing protests around the incident involving Executive Vice President Tallman Trask, his vehicle, and Shelvia Underwood. The sit-in also recognizes the dedication of the Duke Students and Workers in Solidarity Campaign in support of the Duke workers of color who have been struggling to draw attention to discrimination in the workplace at Duke, to retaliation against workers voicing their discontent and to the insufficiency of the Duke administration’s response to those workers and to their workplace hostile environments.
