The Black Bruins | Spoken Word | Sy Stokes
UCLA Has More NCAA Championships Than Black Male Freshmen.
A group of students, led by Sy Stokes, posted a video voicing their concerns about the number of black students on campus, and their message is hard to ignore. Stokes, a third-year Afro-American studies student who identifies as black, Cherokee and Chinese, recites a spoken word poem in the video, citing blaring statistics about the university's diversity issue.
