UNLV Black Lives Matter Web Archive

Identifier

UA-00110

Abstract

The UNLV Black Lives Matter Web Archive (2020) is comprised of two statements and one op-ed which were published shortly after the murders of George Floyd and Ahmaud Arbery and the subsequent rise of the Black Lives Matter movement. The statements come from Thom Reilley, Chancellor of Nevada System of Higher Education (NSHE), and Marta Meana, Interim President of the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV). Both statements express NSHE and UNLV's message of solidarity with the Black community and affirm the University's commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion. The op-ed was written by UNLV alumna Jessica Walters Murrey who is a "social change and communication expert." The op-ed acknowledges Murrey's pain and grief and also outlines actionable steps that non-Black individuals can take to support the Black community.

Abstract

Oral history interview with Jessica Guiao conducted by Grecia Lopez on November 22, 2022 for the Reflections: the Las Vegas Asian American and Pacific Islander Oral History Project.

Guiao discusses some of the pressures and stereotypes surrounding Asian Americans, such as what career path they should pursue or the aversion to embracing subcultures, and how she has consolidated her rebellion into her own identity. Throughout the interview, Guiao touches on other topics such as Filipino food, the long-standing history between Mexican and Filipino communities, Catholicism, goth culture, and anti-Asian hate and racism that she and her family has faced.
