Community members to march in solidarity against racism

Friday, April 20, 2018

Members of the Greencastle and DePauw communities have been invited to stand and march in solidarity against racism.

The event will begin at 5:30 p.m. Saturday at Gobin United Methodist Church, at which point participants will meet to make signs for the march.

At 6 p.m., the march itself will begin, proceeding through the DePauw University campus before heading north and ending on the steps of the Putnam County Courthouse.

The event comes on the heels of at least a half-dozen bias incidents around the DePauw campus in recent days.

    Obviously, DePauw cry-babies didn't learn this.

    I'm still trying to wrap my head around all this... The idea that a group of people think Greencastle needs a march for something like this is hilarious.

  • @Douglas Quaid, it’s hilarious and disturbing all at the same time. Maybe the ADULTS living within reality in our County ought to take a look at this “march” tonight to give us a heads up on just who not to vote for this year and who needs replaced from appointed positions. Our tax dollars should not be wasted on unicorn chasers.

  • Since when do students demand things and you comply. If they don't like going to school here, let them go elsewhere!! That's part of what's wrong with the world today, you cave in to spoiled brats. Quit rewarding bad behavior!! Buckle up!!
