WOW!
She is a women that I’m sure has fought sexism and injustice personally & professionally all her live.
She has a daughter becoming a Doctor and was reading a book on the racism and injustices about a Black Doctor (In A White Coat).  She admired the Author and his message, and was trying to create awareness of the injustice, to all African Americans. She was clearly not acting out as a racist, quite contrary.
But to “Shame the U of O” for hiring her 34 years ago?  “Going out in public” (in her own living room?) Or, Hitler & KKK?
In her way (while misunderstood) she was “Fighting” and bringing to light racism. Isn’t that what we are all trying to do (?). 
IMHO, I feel your statement is “Very closed minded” (which aren’t we trying to change in our world?) and Pre-judging her based on what feelings are/were conjured up in “your” mind, rather than her intent and was going through hers? Seems like pretty blind intolerants (again, isn’t that what we are fighting against, for everyone?)
