The protesters shouted “black lives matter” in response to re- cent police violence against blacks. “Are you next? Am I next? Are we next?” the protest- ers 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 soph- omore Allen Coon to prepare the protest, and the two decid- ed to move the demonstration off campus and into the Oxford community.
