Mostly white students come to Ferguson ‘reactions’ discussion at UM-Flint

The University of Michigan-Flint offered its students a place to “share your reactions” to the grand jury’s decision not to indict Ferguson, Mo., police officer Darren Wilson, who is white, in the shooting death of black teenager Michael Brown.

To the surprise of facilitators, most of the students who turned up at the campus Intercultural Center Nov. 25 were white.

The email went out to university students the evening of Nov. 24 as riots raged in Ferguson, Mo. In addition to counseling, art supplies were provided to help students express their feelings and write letters to the Brown family.

“To be honest, most of the students that I have seen are white students, which I thought was interesting. I didn’t expect that,” Qiana Smith, interim director of the center, told The College Fix during the event.
