Letter to the Editor

This letter is in regards to the fliers depicting images of a noose that have been disseminated throughout campus advertising the Graphic Design Junior Show. We, the African Student Union, find these fliers to be despicable, appalling and downright outrageous. The image of a noose is a symbol of terrorism and has negative repercussions that have affected African-Americans adversely throughout our history. We demand these fliers to be removed from campus, and we demand that an apology be issued to all African-American organizations and all African-Americans on campus. This is a culturally insensitive act of racism that will not be tolerated. We wish for this apology to be printed in the On-line Forty-Niner.

— Harold Fisher
Sgt. of arms in the African Student Union
