All students are invited to join a vigil on Monday, August 25th at 10am on the quad (UIC) as a group of students hold a silent mournful vigil to remember the unarmed teenager, Michael Brown, who was killed in Ferguson, MO on August 9th. Ferguson has become 'ground zero' for opposition to racism and injustice. The aim of this vigil is to commemorate Mike Brown, and also to use this energy as a call to action for unity amongst the Black community and unity within the campus as well.
The vigil is expected to last for about one hour. Wear black if you can.
