The Importance of Unity After a Racial Attack On Campus  | Tanasia Morton | TEDxYDL

How can outraged students make their voices heard after racist graffiti appeared on campus buildings? This is the challenge that Tanasia Morton faced on EMU’s campus. As a black woman and Student Body President, Tanasia Morton has been deeply involved in efforts to unify the campus community and will tell us what she, working with others, has done to bring students, staff, and alumni together. Tanasia Morton was born and raised in Cleveland, Ohio. She moved to Ypsilanti, Michigan in the Fall of 2013 to attend Eastern Michigan University. After a life changing experience at leadership retreat she made the decision to devote her life to being a public servant. She currently serves as Student Body President of Eastern Michigan University, a commissioner for the City of Ypsilanti Human Relations Commission, and the Treasurer of the State of Michigan Youth and College Division of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
