Silence for Black Lives Matter
Morehead State University students hosted a silent protest to show support for Black Lives Matter on Tuesday September 8, 2020 at the Bell Tower. The event was put on by Jacob Wilde and Demetrius Dillard both football players for the university. They put on the event to be able to ask that administration listen even though they’re being silent.
“It’s a silent protest to just stand here and let people know that our lives matter,” said Wilde.
Wilde and Dillard are working on becoming an official student organization called Students for Change. They will be putting on these silent protests weekly.
