Gallery: BSU marches for change in Parade of Peace

October 15, 2020 by David Mitchell

Members of the ACU community gathered at the Hardin Administration Building to peacefully protest racial injustice during the Parade of Peace Wednesday morning. Led by the Black Student Union, students, faculty and staff silently marched across campus with homemade signs in a time of reflection. After marching to the GATA Fountain, BSU members concluded the parade with a devotional remembering the Black lives lost to police violence.
