Roncalli Hall

October 2017

“Change doesn’t happen with reformation, it’s revolution...”

16 October 2017 - Two students found their “Black Lives Matters” signs vandalized in Roncalli. The same weekend, a screenshot of a Snapchat comparing Black slaves to a burnt sandwich circulated through the student body. Students gathered in O'Neill Plaza, with several of them sharing their own stories of racism on campus. Both the meeting and a follow-up walkout two days later are unregistered. (Chris Russo, "Emotions Run High at Rally as Students Plan 'Silence is Still Violence' March, The Heights; Featured Image by Julia Hopkins / Heights Editor).
