"This MLK chapel gives me, in serving as the President of Dallas Theological Seminary, a public opportunity to reaffirm my personal and our institutional apology for our past racial sins."

Mark Yarbrough, President of...well, he said it
"We have articulated a statement of unity, diversity + community and established an advisory council on unity, diversity + community, many of whom contributed wisdom to this statement. But as the recent events remind us, we have a long way to go."
If you're gonna do DEI...why not just call it DEI?
The chapel continues with Rebecca Walton, Editor of DTS Magazine, calling MLK "a cornerstone theologian for his generation" and comparing his activism to Moses awakening from his privilege and killing an Egyptian.
"Recent events may make some of you uncomfortable + that's OK. Allow the members of your body to carry that burden for you. Let us stand w/ you as you process your thoughts toward understanding our burden + our generational trauma. We were indeed created for such a time as this."
"Don't feel guilty about the sins of the past...Stand with us as an ally...be aroused against injustice of American church hypocrisy + understand that it is a fundamental reason why the injustice against POC has continued + evolved with each generation since the Civil War."
