(November 14, 2008)—About 200 Baylor University students held a silent march across campus Friday morning in the wake of an angry verbal election-night confrontation between white and black students after the election of Barack Obama.
There were also allegations on Nov. 4 that Obama-Biden campaign signs were burned in a barbecue pit next to a university housing complex and that someone had hung a noose from a tree.
Baylor officials have since said that what actually was burned in the barbecue pit were empty boxes and that the noose was in fact intended to be a swing.
The student marchers met with some administrators at the end of the walk, organized by Baylor's Association of Black Students and the NAACP.
Students who were responsible for hanging the rope in the tree also spoke with the marchers.
