As the Dartmouth College campus community on Monday marked Memorial Day – a national holiday that honors and respects military men and women of all racial backgrounds who have died in the line of duty – students and scholars were alerted to another Memorial Day observance at the Ivy League university.
An email sent to the campus community on Monday afternoon announced a “Memorial Day Blackout” that stated “in memory of the black lives lost this year, we ask community members wear all black tomorrow.” The message ended with the hashtag “#AllBlackLivesMatter.”
The email was sent via the campus events listserv by the Women of Color Collective. The group did not respond to an email from The College Fix seeking comment.
