In 2013, a campus police officer stopped Dr. Brenna Wynn Greer, a Black associate professor of history at Wellesley College. She was moving her car to avoid a construction zone in a campus parking lot when the officer asked her why she parked there.
“I work here.”
“Where?”
“In the history department.”
“What building?”
“Founders.”
“I don’t recognize you,” she remembers him saying. “You can’t just park here. People can’t just come onto campus and park.”
