We are Black Trojans. For us, fighting on goes far beyond a school slogan.
This platform allows our Black USC Community to speak of an experience with micro or macro aggression, at or outside of the university setting, to spread awareness and start a conversation about the covert racism that haunts our everyday lives.
This is our stage to speak our stories.
They will know our names. They will know our pain. They will fight on with us until justice is won.
