Early this morning, the administration of BYU received an angelic message from on high. The benevolent Ghost of Martin Luther King Jr. proclaimed that “Brigham Young University has done more to combat racism than any other institution on the planet.”

MLK’s ghost cited many examples of students from Utah finally encountering their first person of color.

“Coming to BYU taught me that people of color are just that–people,” said senior Bensyn Buhrner. “BYU is changing the world.”

“Our goal is to expose people to all cultures, whether directly or indirectly. You may have served a mission and can share your BIPOC experiences with those who have none,” said President C. Shane Reese.

Some students still never encounter a person of color during their time here, but they believe BYU has made them ready for that day. “I haven’t met any black people in any of my classes, but my boyfriend’s roommate did, so I feel pretty good about it when that day comes for me,” said freshman Kayleigh McBailey.

The closing statement of MLK’s ghost’s message was thus: “Enter to learn. Go forth to serve.”
