Diversity and Inclusion
Our Vision for Diversity
The Department of Radiology embraces and welcomes a diverse community of faculty, fellows, residents, staff, and patients. Diversity and Inclusion are important to us. With this in mind, a Committee on Inclusion and Awareness was formed from faculty and trainees to broaden and enhance cultural competence and to encourage and develop interpersonal relationships.
On Saturday June 6, 2020 a coalition of Duke radiologists which included residents, fellows, and attendings joined other healthcare workers in downtown Durham’s Central Park in support of racial justice and equality. In protest of the killing of George Floyd, we laid down on the ground for 8 minutes and 46 seconds, representing the time a Minneapolis police officer pressed a knee down on Floyd’s neck resulting in his death. After that, we marched downtown to CCB Plaza chanting “Black Lives Matter”.
My mask filled up with sweat and it was hard to breathe. Lying face down on the ground, I wanted to get up. George Floyd was forced down for the rest of his life. After 8 mins and 46 secs, with the help of my friends, We stood up for him.
