Colton Jones kicks off the peaceful protest on the steps of Hendricks Chapel (Syracuse University).<\/p><\/div>\n

We found out about last night’s march for social justice via social media (Thanks\u00a0Syracuse Media Group’s Dave Tobin). The multi-generational, multi-cultural group of peaceful (but vocal) protesters began their journey at Hendricks Chapel, marched through campus (with a brief pause at Bird Library), then despite the wind chill near 20 degrees, hopped on the Connective Corridor before hitting Harrison Street, and eventually occupying a portion of Downtown Syracuse.<\/p>\n

In appreciation for the march and the movement, with end with an album that was recorded on this day during the height of the Civil Right Movement (see below).<\/p>\n
