<a href="https://inclusion.uoregon.edu/">UO website</a> focuses on Black Lives Matter and other activism information. In hopes of acknowledging the values, gifts, and lessons that so many disciplines, especially psychology, have failed to learn from our Black
communities, Dr. Yvette Alex-Assensoh, UO VP for Equity and Inclusion, will teach fall term a
<a href="https://inclusion.uoregon.edu/sites/inclusion1.uoregon.edu/files/9_20_yaa_black_resilience.pdf">
1-credit class</a> that explores the strengths, resilience, and resistance of U.S. Black communities.
