Mizzou renames a long-standing Black student group event
Briefly

"The legion spent several months fighting this decision and finding a way to preserve the original title and message. We initially wanted to keep the original name or have no event at all. However, we did not want to override the hard work our government and other Black student leaders put into this, nor face consequences that could lead to massive losses for our government so early in the year."
"We must not exclude (or give impressions that we are excluding) individuals with different backgrounds, experiences and perspectives. The name of this university-sponsored event was modified in collaboration with event organizers to reflect that our campus is open and welcoming to all."
