Group/Organization: Diversity and Inclusion Office

The Writings on the Wall Project @ FSU highlights hateful words and stereotypes by means of a physical wall display. Through constructing, displaying, and then destroying the wall of hate, the Writings on the Wall Project @ FSU heightens our awareness to and is positive action against oppression and discrimination.

As our friend and colleague Cristina Daniel reminds us, “Walls are representations of the barriers that you put up to shield yourself from the elements from which you wish to hide.”

Description

The Writings on the Wall Project @ FSU is a student-led initiative to engage our University community in a shared experience that inspires all to get involved, collaborate, and take action against oppression, hate, and discrimination.
