"We as a student body want to create a space in which those affected by issues such as racism, sexism etc. can come here knowing that such issues won’t reach them here, but how can we even begin to tackle issues such as those when we can’t even create a comfortable setting for the different perspective of those closest to us," senior Solomon Johnson said in his speech.

Senior speakers from February reflected on challenging experiences. The speeches were delivered on, Feb. 4, Feb.11, Feb. 19, and Feb. 26.
