Students, faculty, and members of the Princeton University community gathered Thursday afternoon for a “walk-out and die-in” a day after a New York grand jury’s decision not to indict a police officer on Staten Island for the “choke-hold” death of a black man, Eric Garner. Hundreds lay for 45 minutes — to symbolize the 4.5 hours that Michael Brown, the man gunned down by a police officer in Ferguson, Missouri earlier this year — on the ground in front of Frist Campus Center. Others stood silently along the sidelines. The protest was organized by students who are part of the “Post-Ferguson at Princeton” movement organized by the Black Leadership Coalition, made up of student leaders representing the Black Student Union, Princeton African Students Association, and other campus groups.
