Rallies at Many Campuses Over Race, Debt

Students on many campuses held rallies Thursday to back black students at the University of Missouri at Columbia and to push for better treatment of minority students at their own institutions. Here are some local press reports about rallies at Guilford College, Loyola University Chicago, and the Universities of Michigan, Washington and Wisconsin at Madison.

Thursday was also the day for the Million Student March, which led to rallies at many campuses to call for free public higher education, the cancellation of current student debt and a $15 minimum wage.
