Student Krystal Davis-Dunn posted pictures on Facebook after coming across the display inside the gift shop at the university's Wharton Center for Performing Arts in East Lansing, Michigan.
Guerrant added:"We have work to do, and MSU remains committed to creating a culture that is inclusive and safe for all faculty, staff, students and visitors. As we enter Black History Month, it's important we not only recognize the many contributions of African Americans, but we remember history and confront all bias."
The incident comes after what appeared to be a noose made out of toilet paper was found hanging from a door in a residence hall in October 2019,"This isn't MSU's first run into something similar to this and also that this can't keep happening," student Adam Hafner told the station. Another student, John Ray, told the station that people of color"feel unwelcome" at MSU.
Davis-Dunn also responded to the statement, saying a day of racial bias training isn't enough to make students feel safer on campus. In a post on Facebook on Saturday, she added:"Non-people of color may not be provoked or triggered by these displays, but for me and the group of people of color I was with... it was a visceral experience.
"Trauma lives in the body and the subtle and subliminal message evoke feelings of harm and a sense of being unsafe. And one day racial bias or implicit bias trainings are not enough to undo 400 years of racialize trauma."Michigan State University has apologized after a gift shop display featuring prominent black figures hanging from trees sparked outrage.
