However, RISE didn’t find evidence of “malicious intent” from those running things, just lousy planning, leadership, and execution.

Nevertheless, the board also apologizes “unreservedly” to the Black community, the disability community, and “our members, guests at the ceremony, and those watching at home.” The board writes: “We apologize unreservedly to the Black community, for whom the racist language used carries real pain, brutality, and trauma; to the disability community, including people with Tourette Syndrome, for whom this incident has led to unfair judgement, stigma, and distress; and to all our members, guests at the ceremony and those watching at home. What was supposed to be a moment of celebration was diminished and overshadowed.”
