Audre Lorde died today in 1992. Fave quotes from her: "Nothing I accept about myself can be used against me to diminish me” "If I didn't define myself for myself, I would be crunched into other people's fantasies for me & eaten alive” “Your silence will not protect you”🕊️🤍

Today at 1:55 p.m. the UVA Chapel bells will toll to honor the lives of Devin Chandler, Lavel Davis Jr., and D'Sean Perry. The bells will ring the first verse of "Amazing Grace," followed by three chimes to remember each of these student-athletes. As we mark two years since their passing, we invite everyone in the UVA community to pause, reflect, and remember Chandler, Davis, and Perry. Together, let us honor their memory and stand in unity and support for all who have been touched by their lives. #UVAStrong
