Statement from the Yale Black Men’s Union

Last Tuesday, black graduate student Lolade Siyonbale fell asleep in the common room of the Hall of Graduate Studies. White PhD student, Sarah Braasch, found Siyonbale sleeping and decided to call the police. Follow this link to read the full statement: facebook.com/YaleBMU/posts/…

Hopefully, his tragic death will act as a wake-up call, and will serve as a revelation of the struggles of the Black LGBTQ+ community. 4/4

Our hearts go out to Melton’s friends and family. 3/4

We, as a community, must strive to create supportive environments for everyone to express their sexuality and to be themselves. 2/4
