Students at the University of Denver are planning to show their support for the Black Lives Matter movement. At noon on Tuesday, Oct. 11, students will gather on the Driscoll bridge to proclaim solidarity and discuss why staying silent is not an option. All students who support the movement are encouraged to attend and wear black.
Other college campuses across the country have held similar 'blackout' events in support of Black Lives Matter. Just last week rallies took place on the campues of Florida International University and Boston University.
Ben & Jerry’s attracted national headlines last week when it declared support for Black Lives Matter. In a tweet, the Vermont-based creamery said: “Black Lives Matter. Choosing to be silent in the face of such injustice is not an option.”
