[DISCUSSION] A year after multiple deaths of black men at the hands of law enforcement, ground zero for the national discussion on racial justice has moved on to college campuses. Just this past week a graduate student at the University of Missouri calling for its president’s resignation for his limp response to acts of racial provocaton on campus has gone on hunger strike, and he has been recently supported by the university’s football team, which has vowed to boycott an upcoming game. On the Buffalo State campus, 300 black crosses to honor the 300 unarmed people of color who have died in police custody since 2012 will be unveiled on the Horace Mann Quad on Tuesday at 1:40pm. On Thursday a panel discussion called “Race, Violence, and the Struggle for Social Justice” will be held at 12:15 in the Bulger Communication Center East, and will be followed on Friday with a student-led discussion about the project in the Butler Library at 10:30am.
