UNL Students to Protest as Part of Racial-Awareness Movement

UNLLINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — University of Nebraska-Lincoln students are planning to protest next week, joining students from New York to California in protests like those seen earlier this week at the University of Missouri and Yale University.

The Lincoln protest is scheduled for Thursday at UNL’s City Union.

Started by UNL student Trevor Obermueller, who is white, the event has the backing of the UNL African Student Association, the Afrikan Peoples Union and other groups representing students of color.

The event corresponds with the #NotAtUNL campaign, which will run on Twitter from Monday to Nov. 20. The campaign aims to spread awareness of race-related issues that have occurred on the Lincoln campus by encouraging students to share their stories of racism.
