Leilani Bartlett, middle with papers, a freshman from Chicago studying business, leads a march April 12 from Brown Hall to Morris Library. Bartlett, who organized the event, posted a video to Facebook on April 4 expressing her concerns about racism she said she has experienced at SIU. Her video received over 161,000 views. Matthew Wilson, a senior from Carbondale studying TV and digital media radio, participated in the event. Honestly, I was heartbroken for Leilani, Wilson said. But I was not surprised because this has been occurring and reoccurring and nothing has happened. So the fact that we are even out here today is sad. Because why should we be out here dealing with these issues when they should have already been solved in the first place. — April 12, 2016, Carbondale, Ill. (Jacob Wiegand | @jawiegandphoto)
