Students celebrate Blaxa Block, made possible by GUPR student organizing

Backed by the newly-formed Georgetown Protects Racists (GUPR), a coalition of student organizers, Giles successfully pressured the university to address some of their concerns and provide increased institutional support for Black students. On Sept. 30, students celebrated the opening of a new Black student affinity space called the Blaxa Block in the former LXR multipurpose room, meeting one of GUPR’s 11 demands.
