"I think for a growing number of white Americans you are seeing more attention paid to the longer-term reasons that racial inequality persists in America," says Steven White, assistant professor of political science. "I guess the question is whether these changes in public opinion will last," he says. "Is this the beginning of a really substantial shift?" White was interviewed for the Agence France Presse article "America's original sin: Floyd death prompts historical soul-searching." 06/16/20
