Dozens of University of Maryland students dressed in all black gathered around the newly erected Frederick Douglass statue Thursday afternoon to stand in solidarity with peers at other universities who have protested in response to racial controversies this fall.
Nearly 200 students of different races and backgrounds assembled for a rally at about 1:15 p.m. to express their dissatisfaction with the handling of racially charged incidents at college campuses, such as those at the University of Missouri.
Astrid Diaz, a senior American studies and anthropology major, attended the rally Thursday with a goal to demonstrate the power students at this university hold and to stand in solidarity with those at schools such as Ithaca College, Missouri and Yale University, which have experienced recent racial controversies.
