John Robinson Miller IV

Beyond the Bell Tower

Protests, parties, and petitions have all been the college trademark for many students, and on this episode of Beyond the Bell Tower, John Robinson-Miller IV, program coordinator for the African American Cultural Center, talks both systemic change and self-care. The burn-out in advocacy, as a young adult and especially as a member of a minority group, can have huge consequences on the social well-being of students. John Robinson-Miller IV, a self-identified queer, an African American, a double NC State alumnus and staff member, speaks to the balance of fighting the long fights, addressing inequality in a way that is truly impactful, and remaining optimistic. John offers his perspective as a faculty member who is just as entrenched in student organization and student issues as students themselves. This episode was recorded Fall 2019.
