Protesters have flooded the streets of major cities across the country in response to the death of George Floyd while in police custody in Minneapolis last week.
Oxford held its own protest on the Downtown Square on Saturday night called “I Still Can’t Breathe!!!” Hundreds showed up in front of City Hall speaking out against inequality and racial injustices.
Members of the Ole Miss athletics department have begun speaking out, including vice chancellor for intercollegiate athletics Keith Carter, who put out a statement on Twitter Sunday morning.
“As I have been thinking about everything going on in our country over the past couple of days, I am deeply saddened and concerned,” Carter said.
