After six years working at the Fayetteville/Cumberland County Arts Council, UniQue Webster recently resigned, even though in her words she had “grown to love the work.”
But on her way out, she highlighted the reason for her resignation: In an open letter, she blamed “systematic racism” and prejudice.
Webster worked as director of Engagement and Strategic Partnerships at the Arts Council, which supports local arts initiatives through funding and other resources. She was hired as a development director in 2015.
She titled her five-page letter “Behind the Red Doors: Systematic Racism,” and it was broken down into seven sections.
Webster detailed her efforts to help build the nonprofit, but she wrote that she was finally faced with “an egregious battle between systematic racism and my worth” and had “fought for too long.”
