Abstract
Following the surge of the COVID-19 pandemic and the racial justice movement spurred by the police-involved murders of unarmed Black individuals in the summer of 2020, Black students and alumni of predominantly white institutions (PWIs) began to share personal narratives of their experiences with racial trauma on their campuses. In this preliminary analysis, I examine the posts of the @BlackAtAuburn Instagram account to explore themes that may illuminate why these students organized an online counterspace to navigate racial trauma at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. I explore preliminary findings pointing to student distrust in using university resources during heightened racial tensions.
