To Our Black Students, with Love, is a series of letters from the SLCC student body to our Black students. The Office of Diversity & Multicultural Affairs started this letter campaign to show solidarity with our students in response to the Zoom bombing that occurred during the Black History Month Poetry Slam hosted by the Black Student Union in February 2021.

Black Lives Matter!
Some people too stubborn to see
But don’t worry your race matters to me
I will follow you blindly
Because equality is the only thing we need
We march down the street
Screaming “BLACK LIVES MATTER”
For all to see
It’s not easy
For some think we’re promoting anything but equality
They don’t listen to our message
So we go to more extremes
Do you hear me now
“BLACK LIVES MATTER” we scream
and that’s the bare minimum
Black lives should be admired
Fighting harder than anyone
They are who we should all strive to be
My dearest African Americans
Never forget that you’re a treasure
Never stop screaming that
“BLACK LIVES MATTER”
