On April 22, the Yale Board of Trustees will make a decision and respond to the GPSS resolution, urging Yale to award Pennington a degree. We implore you to join us in increasing the pressure on Yale leadership, especially President Salovey, VP Martha Schall, and the Board of Trustees.

In case you missed it, Khalil Greene, the first Black Yale student president, created a TikTok that succinctly explains our cause. This TikTok has contributed to over 1,000 signatures on our petition. We urge you to continue putting pressure on the Yale Board of Trustees and demand that they grant Pennington his degree. Let's continue pushing for justice and rectifying this historical error. Keep spreading the word on this

Onwards,

Noah Humphrey

Organizer, Pennington Legacy Group
