Penn State prez joins ‘hands up’ Ferguson protest

By Around the Web

(CENTRE DAILY TIMES) The line of protesters, dressed in black, shouted their message as they snaked from the HUB across campus to Old Main.

“Black lives matter! Black lives matter!” “No justice, no peace.”

It was the second day of very public, very vocal demonstrations at Penn State by black students, student organizations, and others that supported their cause. Tuesday’s event in the HUB had students piling up in the student center, silently portraying the lives lost to violence. On Wednesday, they followed that up with a second “die-in,” this time right in front of the steps of the building that is the symbol of the university and the seat of the administration.
