Rutgers School of Engineering canceled a commencement speech by Rami Elghandour—an alum and executive producer of an Oscar-nominated film about Hind Rajab, a Palestinian child killed by Israel—because "some" students complained: www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026... His response (via X):
Statement from Rami Elghandour on Rutgers Speech Cancellation
Rutgers first gave me the honor of being the convocation speaker for this year's engineering graduation.
They've now given me an even greater honor.
After a "few" students complained about my selection as speaker because of my social media advocacy for Palestine, Rutgers has canceled my speech. They decided that the feelings of a handful of students who said that my social media posts "opposed their beliefs", were more important than the experience of the entire graduating class, the reputation of the school, the dignity and belonging of Arab and Muslim students, and the First Amendment.
I have not and will not waver on my principles. I stand by my commitment to human rights and American democracy. Only those who fear the truth leverage institutional power to silence it.
Rutgers chose me in part because of my humanitarian work. They put my role as an executive producer for the Oscar nominated The Voice of Hind Rajab front and center. They led with my social justice advocacy. Until it was inconvenient. That's the difference between virtue signaling and principles. One withstands challenge. The other wilts in the slightest breeze.
The message Rutgers is sending to this class and everyone around the country is alarming. Don't dare stand for anything. Don't dare speak up. There will be consequences for being a humanitarian. For advocating for social justice and equality. Avoid people and ideas that contradict your own. Cancel them if you can.
I love Rutgers and it's both heartbreaking and disappointing to see it abandon its students and its ideals.
Ironically the essence of my convocation speech is being yourself and choosing kindness. That you can build a life consistent with your values. That you don't have to choose between success and principles. Rutgers' leadership clearly does not believe in these values.
But they can't stop me from sharing them. I'm recording my speech and will post it soon.

How do you scrape form, interaction? @amplify285.bsky.social mentions Black Covid Care as an example of a project that relies upon user decisions #bbp #networkingblackprint blackcovidcare.com

Black Covid Care
Narratives of Black life during the Covid-19 pandemic have disproportionately focused on high death rates, increased comorbidities, vaccine hesitancy, limited vaccine availability, and how racism has exacerbated Black suffering throughout the pandemic. But what of those stories of care, community, and how Black people have kept each other well during the pandemic? What do those stories sound like? “Black Covid Care” is an attempt to listen to this care, to the ways in which Black people have supported each other during the pandemic. From vaccine and testing pop up sites in Oakland, CA to community organizations feeding their communities in Greensboro, NC, Black people have come together consistently to keep themselves well during a tumultuous time in the world.

Other Stories To Tell is the final report of the Commission on Fostering and Sustaining Diverse Digital Scholarship, a group of 21 leading scholars, librarians, archivists, publishers, and University leaders convened by ACLS to analyze the current challenges in providing equitable access to the creation and sustainability of digital resources and projects related to social and racial justice. <br> This comprehensive study highlights successful and failed approaches in addressing both the precarity and the potential of community-built projects, as well as those that have not been created with the benefit of subsidy from a college or university.

We're doing #DouglassDay in Alexander Library today until 3pm. Check out the screw press and commemorative quote, thanks to our friends at the Scarlet Letterpress.
Douglass quotation made with a hand operated screw press. It says: "There are such things in the world as human rights. They rest upon no conventional foundation, but are external, universal, and indestructible. Among these, is the right of locomotion; the right of migration; the right which belongs to no particular race, but belongs alike to all and to all alike."Mini screw press with inked letterpress letters used to make commemorative quote from Frederick Douglass
