The University of Nevada, Las Vegas removed its 'Hey Reb' statue from campus after calls to take down its mascot that featured a man wearing a Confederate Army cap and uniform.
During a Senate Judiciary hearing about police violence Tuesday, Republican Sens. John Cornyn and Ted Cruz dismissed the idea that systemic racism exists in U.S. institutions, including police departments.
UNLV President Marta Meana notified students about the removal and suggested the mascot's future is uncertain. “I would like the witnesses to tell us if they believe that the police department and the police in America are systemically racist,” Cornyn asked the panel. “Would anybody like to raise their hand agreeing with that statement?”
“We don’t know what happened to her,” Danaya Hemphill said, her voice heavy with grief, tears streaming down her face."What was she doing out here? I am hurt! I am outraged by this!"
