‘It was incredibly powerful’: OSU Dean of CAS reflects on Murray Hall protests S u d ee p Tum m a , Sports Editor, @As k tu m m a

The Black Lives Matter movement has swept the nation. Protesters have filled the streets across America, each with the united goal to slay racism and end this unruly violence.

In Stillwater, protesters gathered outside of Murray Hall at OSU in an effort to have the names of Murray and North Murray Halls changed.

This isn’t the first time people have advocated to remove the name of the building named after former Governor William H. Murray who was known for his racist tactics, anti-semistism and support of Jim Crow laws.

College of Arts and Sciences Dean Glen Krutz — whose department oversees those halls — attended the protest.

“It was very moving,” Krutz said. “It was incredibly powerful to be there with my wife and kids. The whole thing was powerful. It was probably the most impactful, for my psyche, when we kneeled for 8 minutes and 46 seconds.”

That’s the exact time George Floyd was held down before he was killed by a Minneapolis police officer — the event that sparked, what Krutz called, the resurgence of the Black Lives Movement.

I’d be quite surprised if this did not happen in the very near future.”

The dean is optimistic on the chances of the name changing happening, which says a lot about the state of the country right now.

And America is entrenched in the Black Lives Movement, which makes it important to understand where it stems from.
