The campus of Michigan State University has been rocked by recent acts of racial intimidation directed at black students.
Tuesday night the Spartan student body made their voices very loudly heard.
“The incident that really jump-started this movement was an incident at Akers Hall where someone wrote ‘No Ni****s, please’ on a door of a young lady’s dorm,” said Mario Lemons, the president of the MSU Black Student Alliance (BSA). “The residence life staff told us not to talk about. Of course, someone took a picture of it and sent it to one of us.”
The picture set off a firestorm on campus and online, even starting the hashtag #MSUBlackUnity on Twitter.
