Epting, who is working with Wagner to create the center, said that while there is a growing number of residents of color in Iowa City, this works needs to be done all over the United States.
“While Iowa City sometimes likes to pride itself in being a liberal oasis, open to all, there is still work to be done,” Epting said in an email to The Daily Iowan. “We are a community of great privilege, and as demographics change, we simply must be more aware of the ways in which we still need to work for justice.”
