Statement from Peter Piot on 9 June 2020
In my nearly ten years as Director of the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine (LSHTM), it is hard to imagine a more challenging and important time.
In the last two weeks, the global scourge that is racism has been brought into sharp focus in an horrific way. George Floyd’s senseless death has angered and shaken us all.
Many of you have questioned LSHTM’s commitment to ending racial injustice. I would like to thank all those who have taken the time to share their perspectives and experiences – I know that this has not been easy. I want to be clear; we are listening and we are committed to action.
