Walker Scottish Rite Clinic

As a program of Maryville University, we would like to share the following sentiments from Dr. Mark Lombardi, Maryville University President: The events of the past few weeks and the horrific killing of George Floyd have exposed the scourge of racism and exclusion in American society. Unfortunately, this act is part of a long history of America’s collective failure to deal with issues of race. The corrosive impact of racism must be addressed, called out and through education, dialogue and action, eliminated from our society. https://www.maryville.edu//civil-unrest-and-race-relations/
