When millions saw footage of George Floyd's murder by police during the COVID-19 pandemic where marginalized groups had higher death rates, increased awareness and action arose because Black people are treated differently in the United States. Many libraries subsequently created statements and committees to commit to reduce inequities in libraries; however, Black bodies are still being harmed. Therefore, this editorial details the concept and provides concrete steps for making change. It is time to center the voices that have been dismissed and ignored for too long. Are you willing to do what it takes?
当数百万人在 COVID-19 大流行期间看到乔治·弗洛伊德(George Floyd)被警察谋杀的镜头时,由于边缘化群体的死亡率更高,人们的意识和行动有所增加,因为在美国黑人受到不同的待遇。许多图书馆随后发表声明并成立委员会,承诺减少图书馆中的不平等现象;然而,黑人的身体仍在受到伤害。因此,本社论详细介绍了这一概念,并为变革提供了具体步骤。现在是时候让那些被忽视和忽视太久的声音成为焦点了。你愿意付出一切努力吗?
