GSA Statement on Diversity and a Challenge to the Society, Geoscience Departments, and the Geoscience Community at Large

摘要

On 1 June 2020, the Geological Society of America (GSA) posted the following message on its message board:This past week we witnessed a sadly familiar scene in the United States with the senseless death of George Floyd in Minneapolis. He joins other victims of overt racism and systemic discrimination. We all feel the pain, anger, and sadness of these tragedies, but it is particularly acute for our African American members, their families, and other People of Color. GSA stands with all of our colleagues facing these injustices and is committed to challenging and changing the biases that lead to discriminatory practices against People of Color.
