    In response to today's long-awaited verdict in the trial of Derek Chauvin for the murder of George Floyd, President Bollinger shared these words with the Columbia community.

    These words on a blue background: "Having devoted much of my professional life to the law, and to the ideal of the rule of law, I find the verdict in the killing of George Floyd by police officer Derek Chauvin to be both heartening and depressing. Justice has been met in this case, but it cannot erase the decades and centuries of injustices to Black people. Our collective awareness of this harsh and continuing reality seems—sadly and shockingly—to ebb and flow. If we learned anything from the Civil Rights Movement centered around the Supreme Court’s unanimous decision in Brown v. Board of Education, it is that only persistent and painstaking efforts will bring true and comprehensive justice. I have waited for legal judgments before, but none has been more important than this one today, in a state court in Minnesota, to recommitting the society to removing the practices of invidious discrimination against Black Americans."
