Demonstrators read a list of demands at a town hall meeting on race and inclusion at UNC-Chapel Hill Thursday, in light of recent events at the University of Missouri. The group of protesters, mostly black students from UNC, called for action from the university’s administration and from colleges everywhere on some 50 demands, including payment for student athletes and the firing of Margaret Spellings, the UNC System president-elect. Following the 23-minute protest, individuals shared requests in front of the substantial Memorial Hall crowd, which included UNC-CH chancellor Carol Folt and moderator Clarence Page. The group of protesters held a press conference outside of the hall, while inside, heads of various student organizations called for a more inclusive environment.
