SIU Students March to Raise Awareness of Racism

Nearly 100 mostly African-American SIU students held a protest march recently on the Carbondale campus.  They were calling attention to, what they believe to be racism on the campus.  Many of the marchers talked about a recent video which went viral on social media, in  which an African-American  SIU student talked about a recent episode where she was taunted with racial remarks by a group of students.

The SIU Center for Inclusive Excellence is hosting an open forum on Wednesday April 13th 2016 at 4:30PM at Guyon Auditorium at which time students and others will be able to voice their concerns about the issue of race-relations at SIU.
