Parents of black hunger striker protesting ‘white privilege’ own lakeside home worth $1.1 million

The University of Missouri grad student who led a hunger strike against what he contends is systemic racial oppression on his campus comes from a very wealthy family from Omaha, Neb., that owns at least two homes – including a million-dollar lakehouse – property records show.

On Wednesday it was reported that Jonathan Butler, the student whose hunger strike helped prompt Mizzou football players to boycott and ultimately led to the resignation of university President Tim Wolfe, is the son of a prominent Omaha family whose patriarch brought in an $8.4 million salary last year as a railroad executive.

Grad student Jonathan Butler was a key figure in the protest known as “Concerned Student 1950,” which demanded that Wolfe “acknowledge his white male privilege.” Butler embarked on the hunger strike to bring attention to “marginalized” students.
