Black Lives Matter responds to racially-charged campus flyers

Following the dispersal of a series of flyers the university called “racist”and “an assault on everything [the university] believes in,” Black Lives Matter protesters responded by chalking messages on the Diag, including phrases like “Black Girl Magic,” “White silence is violence,” and the names of several black individuals killed by the police over the past year.

Demonstrators  also showed up to the Michigan League on Tuesday, where a panel of students were debating the merits of the Black Lives Matter movement, with many suggesting that it’s harmful to race relations in America. BLM protesters entered the Vandenberg Room, where the debate was being held by the Michigan Political Union, chanting and eventually sitting in on the event, protesting that the three panelists had no right to oppose the movement, particularly because none of them were black.

BLM protesters reportedly spent the night making their case for the movement before leaving the event at about 8pm.
