NOTE OF REPUDIATION TO THE RACIST CYBER ATTACK
We strongly repudiate the cyber attack suffered yesterday by the “Atlântico Negro” webinar. The virtual room in which the event took place was massively invaded by voices and images that prevented the right to speak of the Unicamp professor, Dr. Lucilene Reginaldo, as well as everyone who followed the activity, in a clear attack on the mission that society entrusted the university with producing knowledge and disseminating it in a free and democratic way. This violent and authoritarian gesture also seeks, through intimidation, to silence the advances that society has made in recent decades in recognizing the injustice represented by slavery. It seeks, in the same racist logic that supported slavery, to hide the intellectual competence of black people, to prevent their public expression and their elementary right to have a leading role in the construction of knowledge about their own history. To the petty gesture that seeks to intimidate knowledge and truth, we interject our commitment that we will continue alongside citizens and citizenship, promoting the university as a plural space, attentive to facts and committed to truth and justice.
