A student who complained about a white frat party and celebrity professor Melissa Harris-Perry engage in a tense dialogue about effective strategies of social change, as Wake Forest University takes action to address racial disparities and promote inclusion.
Anonymous chalked messages coinciding with visits from prospective students on the campus of Wake Forest University appear to have hit their intended target.
The messages read: “Diversity and inclusion — you’ve been lied to,” “You’re not safe here,” “Wake will lie for your money” and “Does Wake Forest look like the website?”
Days later Vice President of Campus Life Penny Rue told the campus newspaper Old Gold & Black that the chalked messages struck her “as an act of cowardice because no one took responsibility for it.”
During the question-and-answer portion of a recent town-hall meeting held at Wait Chapel on Nov. 19 to address challenges surrounding diversity and inclusion, the perpetrator of the chalking outed herself and confronted Rue.

MELISSA HARRIS-PERRY, MSNBC ANCHOR: This morning, my question, how does
anyone make the case against pre-k?
Plus, from Gandhi to King to now, what global struggles for justice have
learned from each other.
And Justin Bieber and race jokes. Yes, race jokes.
But first, we will go Twitter. I tweeted it. I meant it and I am not done
