Walk of Solidarity by University of Pennsylvania

On Nov. 16, Faculty Senate tri-chairs Laura Perna, Santosh Venkatesh and Reed Pyertiz led faculty, staff and students in a spirited Walk of Solidarity across campus. President Amy Gutmann and Provost Vincent Price joined the march in an enthusiastic demonstration of unity and support.

The event was in response to an incident in which a group of black students at Penn were targeted the previous week with racist hate mail from a source in Oklahoma.

“This is an amazing turnout,” Gutmann told the 500-600 marchers. “We are united in respect for all persons. We are united against discrimination.”
