  • Renaming Air Force Bases is a “good first step” in eradicating the culture of racism in the Army. Changing base and building names, is how the military can make people of color feel seen, Clark is attributed as saying.
  • Pushes for “diversity and inclusion” in the top ranks.
  • Wrote master’s thesis based on how to recruit solders of certain races.
  • Spoke to Duke Sanford School of Public Policy about how to address Army bases named for confederate generals and transgenders in the military.
    • “Issues need to be address to improve racial diversity, encourage empathy, and better reflect the diversity of the Army.”
