Black Power at Ole Miss Task Force
Fifty years passed before the University formally acknowledged the damage its response to the “Fulton Chapel Protest” caused. To commemorate this anniversary, the University hosted a two-day event on February 24-25, 2020 that included a film screening, a staged reading, a panel discussion, a commemorative ceremony, and the keynote address for Black History Month.
Recognizing how much work remained to be done, however, in May 2020 Provost Noel Wilkin commissioned a task force composed of current University of Mississippi faculty, staff, and students, as well as some of the students who participated in the “Fulton Chapel Protest” and their family members, to continue the work of repair, reconciliation, and relationship building with the alumni directly affected by the arrests and expulsions the University ordered in 1970.
