Abstract
Welcome to our Spring 2021 issue of the Journal Committed to Social Change on Race and Ethnicity (JCSCORE). With great excitement, I write this reflection to introduce this Spring 2021 issue and provide an overview of JCSCORE’s highlights and accomplishments. Yet, in tandem with great excitement, I also sit with and reflect on the pain and trauma inflicted on Black, Indigenous, and People of Color by the ever-oppressive structures of racism, xenophobia, exploitation, war, and violence in the United States and globally. Since 2015, we have published six volumes, and this Spring 2021 issue, including research articles, creative scholarship, art, letters from the Editor(s), and NCORE Speakers’ monographs. These intellectually rigorous efforts contribute meaningfully in advancing scholarship and dialogues that promote race and ethnicity in higher education. In this letter from the Editor, I announce the top five most read articles and top five most cited articles.
