Thousands of students across the nation took part in marches, moments of silence and other demonstrations on their respective campuses late Monday night to protest the Ferguson grand jury decision not to indict police officer Darren Wilson for the shooting death of Michael Brown.

At Princeton University, hundreds of students marched through the campus chanting “no justice no peace” and “hands up don’t shoot.”

At Ohio State University, there was talk of a prayer vigil. Meanwhile, students at Ohio University (seen below) chose to “occupy” a building on campus in a show of solidarity, a demonstration that included signs stating “disarm the police” and “stop killing us.”
