On the first day of classes after Thanksgiving break, Washington University students continued to protest last week’s grand jury decision not to indict Darren Wilson with a pair of on-campus actions.

At 8 a.m., around 60 protesters blocked traffic at Forsyth and Skinker Boulevards, and at noon, a larger group made up of both undergraduate and social work students marched around campus staging “die-in” demonstrations.

Students have protested Michael Brown’s death on and off campus throughout the semester, with efforts increasing since last Monday’s announcement of Wilson’s non-indictment.

In the morning event, students met outside the Danforth University Center before walking down Forsyth and blocking traffic for about 15 minutes. The protesters then walked toward Brookings Hall, where they chanted and announced their demands of the University.

Senior Reuben Riggs listed the demands of STL Students in Solidarity, a group of student activists from local colleges and universities. Riggs called on Chancellor Mark Wrighton to give a public University response to the decision and ensuing protests and asked Wrighton, Provost Holden Thorp and Associate Vice Chancellor for Students Rob Wild to meet with members of the group.

At noon, a group of around 200 students joined a walkout event starting outside the Brown School of Social Work buildings. Students marched through Brown and Goldfarb Halls before continuing through a number of campus hotspots, including Holmes Lounge, Brookings Quadrangle, Whispers Cafe and the DUC. In both the quad and the DUC, students stopped to give a variety of chants asking for justice and an end to police brutality.
