Dr. Ward Ulmer, President of Walden University is confident our generation can make a positive change that will be felt by future generations. He believes that each and every person is a product of their upbringing, and considering we all came from the same place, it is not okay to be racist.
He asserted that, while he cannot control his white privilege, he can control whether he is racist or not. With the Walden community, he is committed to ensuring a safe, respectful, and open forum for people of all backgrounds.
"I think what makes this so raw, and so real, is, we saw a human being, being killed. We saw George Floyd killed" - Dr. Ward Ulmer
