Just had explosive interaction w/ Columbia University’s heightened security coming onto campus. They followed me to my office & then lied, saying I didn’t scan my ID for entry (I did) & I pushed an officer (I didn’t). An ugly scene followed. They did this to me, a tenured, full professor.
I'm honored to share my journey as a 'black first' in mainstream media. From the struggles of the #civilrights movement to breaking barriers, it's been a journey of courage and perseverance. #TrailblazerbyDBG | dorothybgilliam.com
