The University Center for Human Values affirms as a fundamental human value that Black Lives Matter.  We call for justice for all those who have been the victims of police violence and of other forms of oppression and inequality which are unequally visited upon people of color, and for the systemic changes that are needed to prevent their further toll.  We acknowledge the moral challenge to live up to these words in what we do, and to learn from those who have been at the forefront of the struggle against racism and for a true justice and equality for all.
