THE STUDENTMISSISSIPPIAN NEWSPAPER OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSISSIPPI SERVING OLE MISS AND OXFORD SINCE 1911 Visit theDMonline.com @thedm_news Students bring die-in from campus to Oxford Square LANA FERGUSON [email protected] Nearly two dozen students sprawled beneath the Confed- erate war memorial in front of the Oxford Courthouse to bring awareness to the importance of black lives Wednesday after- noon. The protesters shouted “black lives matter” in response to recent police violence against blacks. “Are you next? Am I next? Are we next?” the protesters asked. A similar protest with the same purpose was held two weeks ago in front of the Stu- dent Union. “I participated in the last one and there wasn’t a lot of black participation in it. I thought that was a problem,” said senior Jal- isa Giles, who helped organize the event. Giles collaborated with sophomore Allen Coon to prepare the protest, and the two decided to move the demonstration off campus and into the Oxford community.
