A professor at Southern Illinois University is pushing for bereavement leave for black educators to address their trauma and grieve over racist news and confrontations.

Angel Jones is a visiting professor at the school's department of educational leadership and said black faculty members should not be expected to return to work immediately after enduring racism."I am a proud educator who loves what I do," Jones wrote in an article pushing for bereavement leave following the death of Tyre Nichols."But before that, I am a Black woman.

While she and other black educators are there for the students, Jones asked who there is for the black educators who have to live with and cope with racist experiences. "Where is the acknowledgment of our pain? Where are our [counseling] services? Where is our grace for missed meetings and deadlines while we mourn?" she asked."Yes, we have jobs to do and students to support, but we also have trauma to process."

In the sermon, King discussed how it is cruel to tell a man without boots to lift himself up by his bootstraps.
