There’s a reason more students are wearing black today.
In the wake of the court decision not to indict Darren Wilson on Nov. 24, the University of Oregon’s Black Student Union reacted with a tweet to their organization asking students to wear black:
We are having a black out tomorrow to support the families and to come together as a community. Please spread the word. #ducksflytogether

The BSU will be holding a solidarity and support vigil at 5 p.m. at the Wayne Morse Free Speech Plaza. The Emerald will be covering students on-campus today who are participating in the “black out.”
