HOUGHTON, MI-- Members of the Michigan Technological University community marched for justice Sunday.
Hundreds of students, staff, and others marched from campus to the Houghton County Courthouse in response to the arrest of a person who posted an online threat to African-Americans. The subject will be charged with disturbing the peace.
Protestors say the charge should be more severe.
Some marchers held signs saying, “Our lives are not a joke.” They say they intend to make Prosecutor Michael Makinen aware of how they feel and to establish peace.
The suspect will be arraigned Monday morning.
