The murders of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and Ahmaud Arbery are individual tragedies that point to our collective and enduring failure as a nation. We must reckon with the truth of our nation’s history of violence against Black people and condemn these acts of violence that perpetuate this continued injustice. Black Lives Matter.
The American Repertory Theater is committed to dismantling white supremacist culture in our institution, on our stages, and in our community. We unequivocally oppose any attempts to divide our community through acts of discrimination, omission, and violence. We must use our privilege to fight against institutional racism. We must be accountable.
We stand in solidarity with Black artists, colleagues, and citizens in our community and around the world.
