Robin DiAngelo, who penned last summer’s smash anti-racist hit White Fragility, was scheduled to speak at a Diversity Forum at the University of Wisconsin in October. But when the school let her know that the event would be virtual, and asked if she would reduce her fee, she said absolutely not.
Students spoke up against the talk by DiAngelo, saying that the spot should be given to a black speaker. In an email sent to DiAngelo, a student said that “In the wake of George Floyd’s murder and the worldwide protests, it seems one thing is overwhelmingly agreed upon by people seeking equity—that now is the time to elevate people of color’s voices,” the Washington Free Beacon reported.
“On that note,” the email read, “I was wondering if you could share why such a prestigious speaking spot should be saved for you rather than a person of color.”
