- *Reflections on systemic racism in higher education
James H. Johnson, Jr., Ph.D., Higher Ed Works, July 8, 2020
Several of my White friends and colleagues have asked me recently what changes are required to address systemic racism in higher education institutions. After reflecting on personal experiences as an African-American professor for four decades in two predominantly White institutions, I will highlight activities that have given me race fatigue over the years – things I no longer would have to do or experience if systemic racism did not exist.
