In 1986, Damon L. Williams, Jr. was uninvited from a friend’s birthday party at a country club due to his race. This experience sparked his determination to ensure access for all, particularly marginalized individuals. Williams, who attended a historically Black college and university (HBCU), used his social capital to expand access for himself and others. He eventually gained access to the same country club that had barred him, bringing his Black friends with him. Williams’ commitment to building access led him to a career in higher education, where he has worked at both public and private institutions, including HBCUs and Predominantly White Institutions. He has held roles at Georgia State University, Xavier University, Emory University, and Northwestern University

2018 student organizer Sally Chen opposed SFFA’s anti-affirmative action lawsuit, claiming it misrepresented Asian American interests. SFFA’s case, lacking student plaintiffs, used the model minority myth to argue against affirmative action, causing racial division. The 2023 Supreme Court decision banning race-conscious admissions offered no support for Asian Americans. SFFA’s race-blind agenda ignores diverse challenges faced by Asian American and NHPI students. Chen advocates for disaggregated data, increased investment, welcoming environments, and diverse leadership for these students. She calls for action against the damaging impact of race-blind admissions.
