Matthew Wilson, a senior from Carbondale studying TV and digital media radio, holds a sign that reads, Accepted But Not Welcome! while marching April 12 from Brown Hall to Morris Library. I decided to come out and take part because I am from southern Illinois, from Carbondale, and I feel very strongly about these issues that are going on in my hometown, Wilson said. This is my place of comfort, my place of peace, where I was born and raised and I do not tolerate this nor will I accept this any longer. So we needed to bring awareness to this situation and a solution needs to happen. Leilani Bartlett, who organized the event, posted a video to Facebook on April 4 about the racism she said she has experienced at SIU. The video received more than 161,000 views. — April 12, 2016, Carbondale, Ill.
