the voice breaking, and people in the room did not see this coming, and it speaks to potent power of what these students were doing, and not just the hunger strikes but the football players and the sentiment on the campus, ashleigh. and kyung, does it mean that effectively things are back to normal and i say wit a grain of salt, because there was an intense threat to pull out of the football game this weekend which could have had a significant financial impact on the university, and now there is a student who is hunger striking, and he has announced on cnn that it is over as well. he has said it is over. this is just the beginning. if you have heard what the president said, he said that we need to continue to speak and not to shout at one another, and we are starting to see that. the board here actually invited butler s family to come here to begin a dialogue. the family arrived here and walked back and forth inside of the meeting to the meet with
intimate with the workings of the administration. so is there anybody else sort of on the target, and somebody else that the movement is saying, that you need to go, too, and change won t e e e fefkt wait. they believe he is the one, and he set the tone with the action, and he said that he takes full responsibility for the inaction, but you know, he is a symbolic head of the university. there was a problem over the weekend where somebody was driving around the campus with a confederate flag, and this sort of change has to be take even and tone set from the top, but it also has to trickle down and there has to be a deliberate intention set among the administration, and also this has to continue among the entire student body. all right.
this is a problem for colombia and mizzou mistake, but it is a a microcosm of race in america. and we have 35,000 students here, and they come from all over the country and all from other countries around the world, so what we have seen here is a problem that we have not completely a addressed. certainly, we don t have slavery and certainly we don t have the jim crow law or overt segregation, but until we deal with the pain that minorities have, it is until we eliminate the disparities and the educationaldisparities of employment and income, our work is not done. and do you believe that the resignation of the university is goinging the bring about the change that students have wanted, and i m not saying that what the students have gone through is terrible and no one
