The OU Student Government Association and OUâs chapter of the NAACP will host a forum at 7:30 p.m. this evening to allow members of OUâs Black community to verbalize their feelings, according to the event flier.Â
Our Space â a Black safe space workshop â will allow Black OU students, faculty and staff to share their perspectives amid the âcompounding traumatizing eventsâ and the âfortitudeâ it takes to be Black at a predominately white institution, according to the registration form. Terrance Banner, one of the University Counseling Centerâs Black counselors, will help facilitate discussion.
Although the organizations appreciate the support of all non-Black allies, âthis event is specifically for the OU Black community,â according to the form.Â
