Racist message found near plaza at Rhodes College
By
MEMPHIS, Tenn. (WMC) – An open meeting on campus culture is being held Wednesday night at Rhodes College.
The meeting was called after racist messaging targeting Black students was found on campus.
The vandalism was strewn across the National Panhellenic Council Plaza, which is the only space on campus to pay tribute to the historically Black sororities and fraternities.
In a statement, Rhodes officials say they are, “working diligently to identify the person responsible for leaving a message of hateful rhetoric on our campus over the Thanksgiving break.”
“We are a community that is firmly committed to diversity, inclusion, belonging, civility, and respect, and we do not tolerate racial bias or hate speech,” the statement also reads.
The culture meeting will take place on campus beginning at 5 p.m.
